in the wet

Post by kion »

Wont on the zxr first time in the wet yesterday and it was slipping and slidding all over the place. Not sure if this is because of the rear tyre which is a bit bold or is it to do with the type of tyre i have on???

if its a bit bold it aint gonna help, can't comment on the supermaxxis as not used them but forund the pirellis to be best in both wet and dry.

bald tyres have no grip!
