that's not terrible. I thought about it, but they are not really trackable. |

I would run pilot road 2's in your case. I think they will be fine on the track and should hold up better commuting. At least try em once and see how many commuting miles you can get out of them.

I've heard of several people running the strada's and doing track days... granted they're not going to do as well as the Powers or Oorsa III's but what are you going to do more of? track riding or commuting?

i've had great success with my Continental Sport Attacks and Road Attacks....
If i weren't with those, i'd go back to Pirellis.....never had a problem with the Scorpion Synchs that i had on there..

You my friend are a perfect candidate for trying the Dunlop 616s. I tried them on my bike and didn't like them. They were too "tall" or something but I bet they would be the shit on your bike!

i've read on too many forums that the Dunlops have a short life span....i don't want to be looking at replacing tires every 4 months...

Gee,I wish I could make it four months on a set of tires! Someone else aid that they get 14,000 miles on a rear tire! I get approx. 10,000 on a front and 5000 on a rear. As far as the Dunlop 616s go,I guess that makes sense as they're Dunlops rain race tire with a slightly harder compound. They were super sticky but they "fell" into corners alittle too hard for my tastes. |

Road Attacks are more commuting, Sport Attacks are more canyon carver.
