Geeze Rob,
I have never thought about road noise coming from a tyre, unless it was a trailie going past me, they seem to hum a bit, is the noise really that bad?

Hey Mick how ya been? Yes mate thought my bike had a problem noise then I would hit the hot mix and the noise would go. The noise appears on the large stone roads mix. Other than that a good tyre. Rob |

you need either ear plugs or louder pipes  |

i dont care if you have been a mechanic for 10 years doing something for a long time does not make you good at it, take my gf for an example shes been walking for 28 years and still manages to fall over all the time.

With ear mould plugs you don't hear much.
Without plugs there is some noise.
As for pipes I'd be thinking my system is plenty loud enough.
It just seems to be a small-ish problem with the new design.

I think the noise is contributed by the tyre being so light. there is not alot of rubber to absorb the noise. Other than that the tyre sticks like shit to a blanket! |

Brian, to answer your question.
I've been a fan of Bridgestones for some time, I usually put the stickiest front on, then something on the back that will last a bit longer and I usually end up wearing the sides of the front out and the middle of the rear at the same time. But (always one of them) I'm looking at the new Metzeler sportec M5 interact, the technology looks like the best of both worlds, longevity and grip.
Hope this hasnt clouded the issue of 'how long is your piece of string'.

I forgot to mention, there is a nice little write up in AMCN on page 54 issue Vol 60 No3
Read into it what you will.

After a good 400-500k's on the new rubber now I have more of an idea of what they are like.
how about now, Matty, after the track day? |

They were okay kinda like the old Power Pilots a little squirmy in the corners
For the track the other tyres were better but I do like the new ones also.
