Just replaced my Dunlop Sportmax with a pair of vredestein sessantas on the front. Noticed the change straight away. The feel through the steering wheel is so much better. Makes me realise what I've been missing for the past 9 months. Took her out the back roads for a blast and the grip is awesome. Much smooter riding as well.
Mentioned my concerns to the tyrefitter about some of the points TT raised. He was, how shall we say, dismissive. He had Goodyear F1s in stock as well which he says are a great tyre but not worth the extra in his opinion. To prove a point, he showed me his Toyota Celica. He has Sessantas on and says he loves them. After 8000 miles they are running as well as when they were new.
