ok Im the biggest "ya get what you pay for" advocate however Im thinking about these as $299 a set how bad can they be for an option for a tyre munching R1

Shinkos I always thought where poo that was until I rode with 6 mates who ALL had them and they trackday them and ride hard on them and they all love them

so whats with these EDGE tyres ??

Im thinking a potential trackday tyre

I found one very unhappy harley guy too, and another with a XT660 that was equally unhappy. No-one saying good things tho...

They look like they'd handle like Shinko's... You try em tho Q and tell us what you think... I'll stick to paying good money for piece of mind.

lol, yeah, I wont try them bro, but interested to find out what they like from the KB experts.

For an extra hundy you get can get a new set of Bridgestone 016's. No brainer for me until I see MotoGP switching to IRC as a control tyre.

Dont get what you mean sorry?

Supply and demand. The specials are on the 180's because I don't think they move out the door as fast as a 190. I'm probably wrong again.

Thats a mad price, I am running these on my blade already but have chewed through the back tyre, Keen for a new set as I really liked the tyre - there is no chance you have a 16" 130 wide front for the fireblade? probably not a tyre you get over stocked on.

[AllanB]

Good prices YES. Mad? NO.

Realistic for bulk deals IMO and a credit to WT for doing so.

$600 or more for a set of tyres in NZ is absolutely stupid money and anyone paying that should have e-mailed around the country first.

Though one pair lasts a few meetings..

Hi matey, sorry I missed this post.

We are a Bridgestone stockist so will most probably have something in stock or available overnight.

Give the parts guys a call or email and they'll sort you out quick smart.
