[QUOTE="user 213, post: 1204872, member: 213"] No, that's just your imagination. Just like on cars, those wear out too fast. The vast majority of CTs on FJRs are all season versions. The reason is simple, you don't want things changing dramatically when it gets cold or wet. Sticky summer performance tires have a tendency to get hard and provide much different traction in the wet or cold. I have had several great summer tires on my previous 300 rwhp Miata that turned into scary understeering crap when the rains came. That would be even more dangerous on a bike. There is a segment of Darksiders in the cruiser market that like to run snow tires, in part because of the tread designs, in part because they perceive them to be 'stickier'. But they don't have the performance envelope we have with the FJR. If you're going to keep poking this thread, you might want to go read the [URL="https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php?showtopic=124275"]FAQ.[/URL] [/QUOTE]
