Do they slide alot? The front feels a little vague when getting a wriggle on.

Not bad tbh. You need to get them warm has they are a dual compound tyre.

They were nice and warm, I'm always careful to warm tyres up. I've been caught out by a cold tyre before, it hurts

Michelin Pilot road 2 front 3 rear (190/55). Not mixed by choice just the front wasn't worn out when the rear was. Its about shot now so will soon be on a matched pair of 3s I suspect.
Primarily had Conti road attacks and latterly sport attacks before. Think the Michelin match the grip of the sports with the mileage of the road,

I have dunlop qualifiers and I rate them. I will change to a 190 on the rear when mines read to be replaced, based on a friends recommendation who said his rode better still.

cheers nibbs,

is that the pressures you run blinkey?

what is stock pressure?

I like dunlops, i'll price up those along with diablo's

36/42 is the standard for ALL tyres that fit the falco

i rate my conti road attack 2's but i am more tourer than sports

zoidberg · #25 Post by **zoidberg** » Mon Jul 22, 2013 9:35 pm

i set it to the book so it must be at those pressures.

i'm looking at dunlop qualifiers and pirelli diablos

Those are the pressures the tyre manufacturers recommend.
Aprilia recommends lower pressures in the User Manual but most of us don't get on with the pressures that Aprilia recommends and go with 2.5bar/2.9bar (36/42 in psi) that the tyre manufacturers design their tyres to work at.
