    If I was being paid or was apart of a contract, yea, I would push them as hard as I could, I think that was what you were asking

    mate down here as a set on his 04 zx10, he was running sc1s before hand,

    says not as sticky(that you would expect) but the susupion is alot easyer to setup and works alot better on road with these than the sc1s

    Conti,s

    There new design guy is an ex Pirelli man, jumped ship a couple of years ago, so the Conti is simillar to the Pirelli, but not as good yet, and as Conti have NO active racing programme going on, they will always be behind Michelin and Pirelli due to this.

    Tires and stuff is a lot in your own head anyway

    If you believe your hand is a motorcar, it bloody well is IF YOU BELIVE IT

    Salesmen and Bulletin boards can baffle most with bullshit, the proof is in the eating

    Believe that 100% i have problems in my head with pireillis since we had some some problems with pireilli tires about 6-7 years ago.

    Only really brands i like riding on is Michelin and bridgestone. But like anything, ya need ya head in the game, believe and trust in your tires, before you have any hope of going fast anywhere

    Word is, one of the new testers for Conti is a Kiwi.
    Some things are worth dying for, living is one of them.

    I hate riding on pirelli's but it's totally a head thing.

    Pilot Powers have always been a real positive tyre in my head and it works on the road!

    It definately is, and I watched him and his crew go about his buisness a couple of weeks ago in a very professional way

    He was pushing very hard! Had a couple of woopsies, but that is to be expected, a good sign actually, show's that he is working them very hard

    Report from tyre tester: "Could do with more grip on oily surfaces"
