Not IMO...though you live in MI. I thought they heated up pretty damn well and stuck pretty good for non Race tires. I was running these in the low 70s temps.

If they work in warmer weather then great. I can only speak of their performance in MI weather. I blame my tires for totaling my bike. Nov 4th, 40 degree day, just left my house and 1/4 down the road going 35mph I had to make a abrupt stop..... Well I didn't stop. the tires locked up and I slid down the hill into a dump truck. I have no doubts that if I had PP's on I would have stopped.

Maybe it's the rider and not the tires.

^^^Were still buds right? lol

Just fuckin wit ya.....I lived in MI for 7 years and I remember D220s doing the exact same thing. Did a 180 once when I wasn't even on the gas. When it's cold tires just don't stick.

Good luck finding ANY fucking tire that will grip a 1/4 mile from the house in the morning. Unless your bike uses tire warmers at home then it ain't happening. Blame the tires all you want.

Yea I crashed the same way right after I got my bike...leaving the parking lot! They were BT-016s and I agree that they warm up slower than say, Pirelli Diablos...

Fine, I get that they might warm up slow. No debate, but no tire is gonna be warm the second you start moving.
