    Thumbs up

    Hey thanks Bret. That was very interesting.

    Tyre confidence is so very important. Did they feel good straight away or did it take a while for your head to get around the fact that they were not your usual choice of tyre?

    Do they come in different compounds?

    Are you running a 190x55?

    What pressures did you run on the track.

    straight away they felt great, nice steerability in the front and very good in the corners, I was pinching myself thinking "are these Shinkos "!!
    Dude they are fantastic, Im sold on them

    I run 36/36 on the road, and 30/30 on the track (cold)

    190/55 yes
    Ive run out of fucks to give
