I challenge anyone to say they are confident on any brand of tyre in the wet!!! in my opinion, and the fact I dont have a bike right now wont lend weight to my bold statement but all bike tyres are shite in the wet.
So get what ever tyres I say, but me I am a Michelin man!! and yes my wasteline is getting that way to gotta stop the junk!!
yeah, there is a diff. with the K&N!!! i am liking it, but as you said, my old one was choking the ol gal as well... dirty to the core, so anything woulda helped!
good to hear that the 2o8 and touring version on the back are good... keep us up to date on how they go....
cheers
