The fucking Cheng Shin thats on the back of my bike.
Scares the shit out of me everytime i get on it kinda hard in a turn.
Ever ridden with oil on a tire?
I have and yes this POS is not much better then a oiled tire.....

But i gotta keep it till i do the EX500 swap and i can use decent brands

the 208's everyone is refering too... yeah, they sucked.

like the PP's, love the Corsa III's
Probably try Road 2's next for the wear, unless I can pull 7K out of the powers.

Dunlop 208's. I tried 2 sets, and crashed on both sets. I never felt like I could read the feedback from the tire properly. Both crashes were violent highsides. I know a few fast riders that liked them, but they never gelled for me. Dunlop definitely gets the award for greatest turn around though, because the 209/211 is the best tire I've ever used by a mile.
