  1. I see you can now get them in a 180 so are they any good ? Richie
     
  2. Really? They'll be easier to turn with :smile:

  3. uh gawd how many times.........

    Ducatis are so adjustable even those with no adjustment........it will turn as fast or slow as you want.....the tyres make up about 10% of the adjustability...

  4. looks like turning in isn't much of an issue... looks now that stability is not what it used to be..
    so how will these tires contribute..?
     
  5. And 10% wouldn't be noticeable? :rolleyes:
     
  6. not as much as the 90% setting the thing up how you want it..............but hey....
     
  7. But it would make a difference then. :smile:
     
  8. keep the tyres youve got........and get it set up how you want.....180 v 190 old wives tale there you go ive saved you buying a new set of tyres....
     
  9. My bike is set up just fine and dandy, thanks. Had it done professionally too.

    Remind me what tyres your bike has :smile:
     
  10. 16.5 x 420 slicks..........but thats not important right now.....:wink:

  11. Anyone with a Panigale ? what they like for cold grip and wet roads ?

  12. Cant vouch for wet roads, but they squirm a fair bit in the cold and seem to me to take longer to warm up, but thats totally irrelevant as she's no commuter. Once warmed the tyres stick like shit to a blanket. Panigale is 200 section rear.
     
  13. Is there a significent or noticeable difference between that and a 180 or 190 rear in the corners?
     
  14. No
     
  15. How do you know? Have you ridden one with the different sections back to back?
     
  16. Have ridden on a 190 then on the same bike different session with a 180 and there is not really a noticeable difference only that it will turn slightly quicker but on the road you would not notice it because you won't get the same lean as on the track
     
  17. Would there be a more noticeable difference do yoiu think from the 200 to 180? On the track?

    Not trying to be clever here but genuinley interested
     
  18. TCS on full! :)

  20. That depends how wide the rim is it may be to wide for a 180
