Once upon a time...in a forum four..teen crashes ago...there was a rather humble yet brilliant rider who often wrote intelligent and well thought out posts and who rode like Casey Stoner on lap 4 suffering a case of Diorhea! His name was Kishy! Hence, the little bits of unused tyre previously referred to as "Chicken Strips" are now fondly termed "Kishy Strips" while here in everyones favourite forum KSRC!
HTH
Great
now i understand

Ahh well, M3's by name, M3's by nature! Both are admirable corner carving tools! I'd be almost as happy steering an M3 as steering with a set of M3's on!!!
(the new V8 is insane

Sorry to turn this into a car thread but one of the IT consultant dudes here has a new V8 M3 on order, apparently for delivery early next year. Now if I can scam a drive of that and the bosses Maserati Quattroporte life would be interesting.
Back to normal transmission......
Mmmmmmm M3's. Took my new back M3 for a ride on Saturday with the Hoff. The things are sensational even when new and shiny

Yeah Glen, I agree. I chucked a new set on during the week, rode back down the freeway, no corners. Went for a ride Sunday, forgot about the new tyres and hit the first turn like i had 2000klms under them and they never moved an inch all day!!!!

If you haven't already tried them Gos give them a burl, they're a seriously good bit of kit. They pretty well handle anything. My last back did a ride day at 1.51's, the trip to the island and another 3000 odd k's of fanging and they still had life in them.

thanks boys, I have heard so many good things about these tyres - a set has been put aside at the local dealers, just for the sports-barge !!
roll on summer and those nice *hot* stretches of twisty bitz.....

I've got a set on hold.
I'll chuck them on next week, after i kill my current tires at the trackday this weekend.
They only make them in 190/50, but i think its gonna be fine
I love the 002's but I think i'll get more milage out of these.
