Almost 15K miles on my Falken Ziex 912. No learning curve. Very little slow speed inputs from the tire. I love it and fully expect to get another 15k out of the same tire. I really do love this tire!

If that's their 'style', I kinda wonder why they don't get a bike made for aggressive riding??? :shrug:
I mean, jeez, Wings are like Suburbans/Excursions,,, You can rail the snot out of 'em, but they are still behemoths, and yes, you will go through a lot of tires doing so,,, :shrug:
The nice thing about the G-Max is its 51psi Max Pressure feature. There's plenty of pressure room to zero in on the "sweet spot". My advice to anyone using the tire would be to start at 40psi and work up the pressure scale in increments of 2psi. With its 1 ply side wall, the Max doesn't like lower pressures. Tire Squirm will be really noticeable with lower pressures:icon_wink:
Being, more or less, a wannabe like one of those guys, I can tell you why I'm doing it. First of all, to me, the F6B is like an old man's sport bike. I can go fast, relatively speaking, and I can do it in comfort. And, like one of the "fast" guys told me, what's fun is pushing a bike to 80% of it's limit. Obviously, one can buy a real sport bike but then, to push it to 80%, you're talking about speeds I really don't want to go...been there, done that. Apparently, pushing a bike is not fun for you, Scotrod, but many of us ride two wheels for this reason. I hate to think what I'd have to spend to get a car that performs like my F6B. Anyway, to answer your original question, I did get a bike made for aggressive riding and so did the other "fast" guys!
