[QUOTE="Bounce, post: 1437029, member: 257"] I love my RS3! [IMG]https://fjr-tips.org/misc/pics/rs3/rs3-new.jpg[/IMG] NO tire does well on hot "tar snakes". They're like snail snot and the mfgr has published standards for application that are often ignored by the state/employee doing the application. Large-area patching is specifically called out as dangerous. Cars can get around it by having larger, and more, contact patches. Many state DOTs people I worked with consider motorcycles inherently dangerous, so they made that decision already and whatever happens is their own damned fault. It's technically called "plasticized crack sealant" and as far back as when I worked at FHWA (90s), I saw national notices sent to state DOTs warning about mis-application and it's dangers. Only 1 of the 6 states we worked with bothered to confirm receipt. We assumed that the others held that in reserve so they could later claim to not have known (if something bad happened). [/QUOTE]
