Picked up a nail in my Shinko Raven rear (Thankfully she was 80% cooked and even more thankfully it went flat in the garage, not out on the road).
This winter due to gas prices, I will likely be riding more, so I am looking at the Roads for better wet weather security.
I noticed the Road 6 GT doesn't come in 170 (I know you could put on 180, and have in the past, but now question why?). How important do you feel the "GT" is on the ST? They say its a stiffer sidewall for better handling on a bigger bike. I do ride 2 up frequently, and I do like hard cornering.
Better to get the Road 5 GT than the new and improved Road 6?
For those wondering the Shinko wore very well and still handles well, got 8k and it wasn't done.
