Done a couple of rides, first impressions are good, very surefooted wet and dry and the profile of the front matches the back, the Dunlop front was much more rounded than the rear, the downside of that is 1/2 " wide chicken strips, need to up my game [emoji3]

That's the Stop 'n Go kit. Advantage of the mushrooms is that you don't need any sealant or goo, so it's easier for a tyre depot to fit a permanent plug.Make sure you get the mushroom plug ones though.
I live in Limassol, Cyprus & my MT 09 is only a few months old, so I have the factory fitted tyres. I will be going for Pirelli Angels next up, for the simple reason is they grip like hell plus I get a lot of feedback from the road I think I have Bridgestones on now, they're ok, but I prefer the Angels.I'm looking for the next set of tyres and in Athens is difficult to find the new Metzeler Roadtec 01.
Allthough i can find Metzeler roadtec Z8 & Michelin PR4 for the same price.
After using 2 sets of the excellent imo PR4 i'm thinking to try the Z8.
But first i need to get the permision of the Forum...
Tyres are designed to run at certain pressures. The pressure of the air inside maintains the correct profile and therefore maintains the correct handling of the bike. Running a tyre at lower pressure will cause it to heat up , more than it should , and the profile will be deformed.Have been reading on another forum about people running lower pressures in there tyres than the manufacturer recommend, specifically lots of peeps running 30/30 where i think the recommended is 36/42. Advantages are supposed to be quicker warm up and bigger contact patch. Anybody run lower pressures ? I've had no issues at stock pressures but if lower = better for "normal" use then why not ?
