    http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/moto...-406556657.htm

    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

    so whats with these EDGE tyres ??

    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.

    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.
