Hi all,

Anyone had any experience with the above tyres? Generic comments re. grip, performance in the wet and longetivity welcome .

The Hornet came with these as standard equipment, the other choice was apparently Bridgestone BT56s.

I have loads of experience with these tyres. I also bought a Hornet new fitted with these.

Grip- Doubt unless you ride like Doohan that you will ever get them to walk around on a normal tar surface. they grip sensationally. These used to be the Pucka race tyre back in the early 90's!!! they've been around a while!

Wet- Awesome again!!

Longevity- It's only achilles heal. I got 2000klms from my TX15/25 Hi-sports!!!!

2000km, I've never had less than 12-15000km out of a set of tyres!

Bugger, should have swapped them before picking the bike up .

Well, apart from the 2000km life-span, they sound ok. What did you end up running after they were shagged?

thanks

Rennsports/Racetechs. But would Highly Recommend trying M3's if you want some life! I now run an M3 rear/Racetech front Combo. Yeah yeah yeah, I know, so crucify me for mismatching tyres. But it works!
