So I just got these mounted and balanced. I weight 213 # geared up and the bike has Rumbux system with a Pelican case in the rear. I set the pressure at 38rear/33front and headed out. Did about 10 miles around town to speeds of 60mph and all was well so went down to the Interstate to check out some higher speeds ::26::. Saw the rain grooves when getting on and thought 'Hmm this should be interesting'. Holy shite ???. Bikes front end was drifting so bad at just 55mph that it felt like it was going down. It was moving 6-8" back and forth. Tried doing 65mph for just a bit (ya I'm and idiot) and that was it. There was no way I could have even changed lanes; just too hard keeping on track. So I got off and went out in the "country" where I know that I can go as fast as stupid goes and.....It was solid as a rock up to 90mph! Same old Tenere I'm used to with the OEM Battle Wings. I did some dirt for about 5 miles and came home. I know the tires aren't broken in yet but I don't see a big improvement coming. I plan on trying 36rear/31front next. Speed limits are 80mph fifteen minutes from my house so those speeds are common. I also travel and see California every summer and that place has rain grooves everywhere. Wander seemed to come mostly from the front. Rear didn't seem bad. What would be a good front that is close to the Mitas but more aggressive than the Battlewing and can go all day at 80mph with passing to 105mph which is my max.
