Post by: cornercamping on July 07, 2004, 08:18:31 AM
Anyone else using these currently?   They are ubelievable.  Awesome tire.  Good price.  Any feedback?   I used them this weekend for the first time.

Great tire. Uses a DOT carcass so you can go from slicks to DOT's without the need to change setup.

I used the 1800 with an 1247 front on my R6 at Nelson Ledges.  Simply great.  Ever since I switched to Michelins, every tire combo Tom Mason has recommended has been outstanding.  Before trying the slicks I was running the S2/H2 (f/r) combo and I'll have to say the the grip was good, it turned well, and the wear was excellent.  I'll let you know more about the slicks after the next BHF round.  That's my home track where I can really evaluate changes.

Sean, what was the reason to mix 1800 series rear with the regular slick front (I think you meant 1227 as I couldn't find 1247)?  Was it wear/life?  Do you have any issue with the front and rear not turning on the same radius (hope you know what I mean)?
