After two years and 25,000 miles, the Yokohama Paradas (not spec 2) have had it.. so I replaced them yesterday with a nice set of BfGoodrich Potenza RE750s.. what a difference! Turn is in vastly improved and tese tyres are QUIET! I had forgotten how quiet my tib can really be at speed.. now I can finally hear the windnoise.

Sometime soon I will see how well they stick.. I did 400 miles today and finally burned off the greasy coating they put on them for storage.

there is a reason I do not do many mods.. when I do, I buy only the best (not necessarily the most expensive) but that is how I do must things in life.. there is a reason my CD radio in my car is over 6 years old... and only now starting to die.
