They have good traction and feel with low-displacement, low-horsepower bikes. From 600cc onwards, grip leaves much to be desired. I also had a rear tire with a manufacturing defect that wasn't recognized as such and no compensation was accepted. Customer service is truly poor...

What Yamaha XJ6 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Very light and maneuverable in warm and dry conditions, but overrated considering these are claiming to be designed with wet weather in mind, these are by far the most unpredictable and slippery tires I've owned. I can't wait to get these off.
