I'm due for a set of tyres on the 12 and after reading this I'm thinking of giving them a try. What's a set normally cost??

Anywhere from $460 to $500 ish.. well worth the coin

The Sports-Barge, will be steering like a GP bike !! *

you were worried about the tyre wearing out at the drags b4 your trackday? your tyres like brand new!

What kind of pressures are you guys running on these for the road ?

36 - 41 works for me thats on both the ZX9 and the ZRX

I finally got a set of these babies fitted last week..............and all I can say is PHWOAR they feel so good. Have not had a chance to go for a real good scratch yet, so the elephants are safe..............for now..........

The steering feels *way good*, easy tip-in and very stable, got a toe down the other morning , on one of the local roundabouts.......I gotta stop doing that shit on the way to work.....

My old mate tyre-fitter is a good boy - set them up at 40r36f without even asking ! He reckons the standard 'recommended' pressure is 42 f + r !! brrrr, way to hard in the front for my liking.

Ross79 - give them a nudge, I am sure you will like them.

It looks like i'll be doing a track day at PI mid November with the M3's

So i should have some really good feedback soon

Don't expect them to grip like 002's!!! They are a mint road tyre, but you will find they are a little vague on the limit compared to race compound tyres. They also will grease up after 4 or 5 laps, rather than 7 or 8 with the race comp tyres. they will however last a tad longer on the road!! Oh, and regardless of what some will say, they work even better with tyre warmers on!!!!

Yep its sure lots of fun killing elephants,the rear is easy but the front one requires a bit more effort He still has his legs on mine but the rest of him is dead and dusted

Cheers mate,

As long as they're as good or better than pilot powers i'll be happy

Thanks to this thread I'm booked in to get an M3 fitted to the rear of the 12 this Friday. Need to make sure the bike is roadworthy for the ride to GP this weekend.

Here are my M3 after a track day on Monday at QR.

hahahaha kishy strips!!!

And what do you think of them ?

well I have to say after a decent thrash out in the mountains yesterday, I am very happy with these.

Tyre dude set them up just right (36F 41R) for the MFP12. Apparently the recommended pressure is 42F+R ?? fuck that, way too hard for a front tyre I reckon.

These are a great tyre if you like giving it the berries. Get some. Get some now.
