Subject: RE: (XRV) Tyres for @
Ok, ok, guys,
seems if I have to say anyway a few words about T66, (I tried not to do but
it is a must know).
GREAT!!!! I love those tyres, I am riding my @-baby know for 25.000km and
have completely finished (slikes) my 2nd set of T66 after about 12.000km
(dimension 150 wide) and 13.000km (dimension 140 wide).
My personal opinion- experience:
Not wet
Onroad: Best I have ever driven on a big Enduro, it shows you the deadline
very soft and starts sliding (drifting) if you give more power, like a
supermotad.
Offroad: Acceptable grip on soft offroad ways, not enough grip on hard steep
offroad ways, forget it, you can only manage this with high speed and
gasgasgasgasgasgasgasgasgasgasgas...
(remember 7th meeting he,he,he,he)
If it is wet
Onroad: No problems if driven conservative as you learned it in your driving
school, you can also drive rodeo style- speedway style by opening hard your
throttle, slides in 1-3 gear are possible, if you want to move fast braking
and curves needs your full concentration, you have to handle your @ like a
young girl- very sensitive
Offroad: Lay down the bike very carefully, mount a rope around your forks
and start walking your way by feet always the end of the rope in your hands,
you will have more sucess than by trying to ride the bike (why? after
20meters the tyres looks like slikes).
mit freundlichen Gruessen/ kind regards

Thank you for the replies.
What I find very surprising is how low people rate the michelin T66.
So another question has any had experience of the Avon Gripsters?
