you may not need street tires if you are not trying to race cbr's and zx's.
i'm running on the michelin sirac and must say i'm pretty impressed. i've
raced some sport bikes on curvey asphalt roads and given them some major
surprises. the lean angles i've attained have certainly amazed me! an added
bonus is that by letting some of the air out of the tires i have a pretty
good off-road tire. good for packed dirt, rocks, and stream beds. they're
not so good for gooey mud but i can't have everything. i will definitely
get another set when these wear out!
