Ever try Bridgestone Trail Wing 152 tyres? These were designed for big heavy BMW cop-bikes in Europe and lasts 9000-12000 miles. Ever see cop drag knee or rub elbows? If you lean more than 20-degrees with more than 50% throttle, these brand-new tyres will slip. Nope, 3-year old Pirelli SC or Dunlop A13s will still be stickier.

That's why I included "quality" in my description.
A new Q3, Pilot Power, etc, isn't going to do that.
