what a transformation on the zrx tho, it steers nicely now and doesnt skate around at the rear as much - might just have to ride to work tomorrow as well now :wink: :lol:

These tyres are f#%*ing awesom. The turn is smooth and while in a bend if hip some bumps they just stay on line. i am playing with pressures and have found 34 f and 36 b seems OK. Now i just have to wipe out the elephants at the moment their heads are gone.

Gotta love the m3... Ive done 2 trackdays and about 2000 ks on mine.
Would have to say that it needs replacing. Down to the wear marks on the left side. Close on the right. Plenty of meat in the middle for that burnout before replacing it.
I will be gettin another.

The Qualifier fitted to the MFP12 for WSB is down to the belts (again :roll: ) , and I am not particularly fussed with the French qualifier they fitted to the front, so.......

M3 for the rear and Racetech for the front - very soon .... :P

Hope they work as well on the barge as they appear to on just about everything else out there......... :wink:

mine left more than directional arrows, it left its own skin and bones, all that wasnt left on the road, was the metal...
