[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1178129, member: 19880"] AFAIK, a number of people have tried (and liked) the T30 GT. This test seems to evaluate the non-GT version. There are a couple of parameters that are absent from this, and most other tire reviews, and are a major consideration for anyone who puts a lot of miles on the bike: 1) Tire life. Anyone who says this is not important obviously has too much money or only rides 5,000 miles per year. 2) Tire performance/handling/noise etc. at mid-life. Some of the "best" tires out there (initial performance) range from somewhat less than perfect to downright nasty by mid-life. I have never been happy with PR2 or PR3 after 5-6000 miles even though tread life may go to 12000. My worst experience is with the Pirelli Angel GT. One of the nicest tires (initial impression) and one of the only tires I changed out early because of cupping/steering wobble and noise. Never again. [/QUOTE]
