They sound very interesting, I've had my supplier on notice to get me a pair since Oct. of last year. He was told by the distributer they should be available in May for the small bikes, tires for the big bikes probably available in March. If they make it in May I'll get a set.

I'm going with 140 rear as well. It's also a front/rear balance issue and 150 rear always out-grips a 110 such that front-end will always slide first; very scary! I pre-ordered a set last month, hopefully here before next round for testing.

I'm not so sure that the 140 is going to be any better for you as the 150 profile is pinched on a 250 rim, so its contact patch isn't as good the 140 at full lean. I ran an entire season on (6 three hour endurance races) on one set of Motoamerica A-13 takeoffs. Never slid the front on corner exit. I did slide the front on corner entry a handful of times though. I used a 300 Ninja rear wheel so the 150 profile was about as good as it was going to get. Only time I slid the rear was in damp patches on a drying track on corner exit. |

I've been running Bridgestone RS-10s 110 & 140 for the last couple years and have had the front move around and slip from just after corner entry to the apex and on to the exit (where there is some rough pavement). Never had it slip on turn in, but I always seem to enter too slow and start picking it up before apex, never had the rear slip. I don't think it's a tire thing with the front but am pretty sure it's a fork tuning thing that I don't have right yet.

Only gotten back-end out once in ~2000 laps by going in too hot and then giving throttle at full lean. That was with Pirelli SC-V2 with 140 rear. I found using stickier Alpha 13-SP front and regular Alpha-13 rear gave me best balance and lap-times. |

Looking forward to trying the R11 next, most likely at Thunderhill next round if they arrive in time. |
