VonYinzer said:As stated before... I had these on a bike (installed by the PO, it was a hardtailed XS650) and while "cruising around town" on one of the first days I owned the chop, hit a wet patch in a slight curve at about 20-25mph. By the time I got the bike straight again, I was over the double yellow. Had a car been coming... No bueno. If the roads were PERFECTLY DRY AND CLEAN, they were almost a crappy tire instead of a horribly dangerous tire. Any real world situation, and they're complete and total garbage.

I figured i dont ride in the rain anyways so i'd be ok, guess not. Hard pass on those tires if a wet patch will do it at 20-25mph.

Thats when the other drivers are involved, which is the only part of being on a bike that scares me.
If I hit a curve going too fast, thats on me and I'm in control.
If some shit head pulls out in front of you and you have to slam the brakes, you better hope your tires are up to it. From everything I've read about the cokers (no experience with them thankfully) you'd be dead in this situation.
