I mounted up the Kumho Ecsta on my F6B back in December and have been waiting to get out and see how stacked up to the NEXEN I had on my Valkyrie.

First I will must say that after not riding for almost 4 months the tires could have been square and I would have been happy just to be riding, so I will take my first 75 mile ride Saturday out of the testing.
Sunday AM I started out with the psi at 43 because it was only 45degrees out and if i remember correctly we loose one psi for each ten degrees.
I put about 100 miles on and although have more testing to settle on a psi, I feel even the stiffer run flat at 40psi gives a much better ride than the stock tire did at 40. With the temps low and the tire being new I did not push it in the corners to test traction, but noticed very little difference in handling. I am very happy with the Kumho.
Thanks to all that gave me there input on tires and pressures.
