My T30 went close to 10,000. 023 before it went over 8 close to 9000?
Boy, that's good to hear, I thought for a minute that the T30 would get less mileage than the BT023GT's.My T30 went close to 10,000. 023 before it went over 8 close to 9000?
I know this is an old thread.. However..Yes indeed-y. In absolute terms decreased handling is traded for increased tire mileage. A car tire is not built to perform in the manner of a motorcycle tire.
I've never ridden a bike with a car tire so I can't speak with certainty on some aspects. Riders may learn to ignore the feeling of being on a car tire. I believe that a good rider will alway know they're on a car tire except maybe when on a nice smooth slab of concrete.
Like many mods it's about changing something to a personal preference and adapting to any required changes.
haven't found a MT that can hang a corner better than Hankook V12 CT. In fact, the only times my bike ever slid out in a tight curve was with a PR3.I know this is an old thread.. However..
I'll drag a knee and corner just as hard as the bike will take it with no problems on my CT. I like to think I've pushed the limits on the CT at times. I've drifted in corners to the limits, some dry and some wet roads. In the end, I was impressed with the CT handling.. I've had Mt tires give out way earlier in the corner loading.
Just saying
Exact same shoes on my bike!haven't found a MT that can hang a corner better than Hankook V12 CT.
Ditto...hence my signature line.Yep! I agree Doug! Not lookin' back!
Out of curiosity, what's the tire size you're using?haven't found a MT that can hang a corner better than Hankook V12 CT. In fact, the only times my bike ever slid out in a tight curve was with a PR3.

970MIKE, why not another CT? Seemed you were getting good mileage and handling...
Yes I did go back to the DS and I am happy with it.He did.
I just mounted up the GYTT I got from you today. By the way I got 34,000 out of mine and it had just touched the wear bars.Yes I did go back to the DS and I am happy with it.
Those are good tires!! Enjoy it.I just mounted up the GYTT I got from you today. By the way I got 34,000 out of mine and it had just touched the wear bars.
