Hi Greg,
Got about 1,000 miles on one fitted to the rear, with hardly any signs of wear.

Think it's better than the 020 and 021s that i've had on before.

Seems to be more planted, with very little movement from the back end, only when i ride like a twat and put too much through the front.

Suppose you know about the static strip around the centre of the tread, which shows after only a few miles, but you can't feel anything of this when riding.

Was thinking of having one fitted to the front when the 020 has worn out, but may go for the 016 instead.

Hi all,

OK Falken, thanks, I have a 014 on my front, was very, very, planted on the front. Maybe too much, with the 21 on the back....

I was looking at the 16 for the front, but, I ride all year round, so was thinking of the tread pattern for all the rain we have up here :smt012

Might go for 023's front and back, still some meat left on my rear at the mo.. Cheaper to buy a pair.
