I liked them. I am no expert when it comes to "feeling" tires or the bike, but I do know that they never once moved around on me and stuck like glue. I really like the Pirellis as well, so I'll probably run whatever I can get cheaper. |

The Karns guys got me hooked on the RACE attacks when I had the R6. I ran the 190/55 rear as well. I had to adjust the fork height and redo the speedo healer. I also went up one more tooth (total 3) in the rear and down 1 in the front. They were the beez kneez IMHO. I swapped them to the R1 with no changes to susp or gearing. Still running the 190/55. I found the warmers are helpfull but not essencial with them. Less than a lap on summit main seemed adequate to start pushing them. I really like the grip but was only getting maybe 3-4 track days from them. I'm not the smoothest on the gas though. Recently I used the Endurance compound for the back and was tickled. The grip was just as good as the Medium but the wear looked like I was on a spirited street ride. Great tires. |

Just as a post mortem on these: Ended up getting 3 days out of the rear. Could be worse I guess and I ran them on some really abrasive tracks: Jennings and BeaveRun. Could probably get another full day out of the front so maybe 4 total. Not bad. I think they hold up better than Pirelli SC's (dragon) did but I still had more "feel" and confidence on the Pirelli's. |
