Just install my Pilot Super Sport... mini review

Pilot Super Sport.... WOW....
I am running 215/45/17 on konig feather.

It just replace my R113 with run-crap. it is on stock suspension.
wow.. what a different in ride. it is so comfortable now. that I am thinking twice about not putting in coilover. but I still have a 22mm RSB not installed yet..

the tyres are not broken in yet... but it has already started to show sign of how grippy it is ... at 0 miles drove out of the garage. my tech and I testing to make sure if it has no noise. gun WOT at light. it DID NOT spin. it just launch and launch hard. remember this is at zero mile. maybe 100 feet.
I am tune with Alta AP.

it is also really quite. I do feel the sidewall is softer than the run-crap.

I will give more input once I put more miles on it...

but for right now... I like it...

past tyres used. on different car.

Pilots were the best Motorcycle Tire I have ever run. I have them on a Hayabusa and a GSXR1000. The tires stick like glue!

Running their predecessor, the PS2...

in 225/45-17 on a 2010 MCCS on stock JCW style rims. Very satisfied. Much better than the Dunlop summer RF's it came with for all of ride, handling and braking.
