Default Tire Review
How about a few good pictures of the tires themselves? A description would be nice as well, weight, profile, actual size etc.. Tire weight has a big effect on handling etc.. An educated guess on how long they'll last would be good as well. It would be nice to be able to compare these tires as the years go on. A spread sheet may serve you well as well? I think it is a kind of disservice to Pirelli and myself to talk about the bikes and track more than the tires. They spend a lot of cash to put this event on, and deserve a committed review. Look at it this way; I'd pay for my own airfair, and use my holidays, to be able to go to Assen to watch the WSB races, probably in their nice suite, and then actually get to ride on that track!

Tire pics? Well, there were two in the article, and there's this one from the article's gallery: http://www.motorcycle.com/gallery/ga..._itemId=239630

Regarding how long they'll last, that's impossible to know from a day at the track punctuated after lunch by a tire swap.

I'll let you know when the next event is. Just make sure you have your journalism degree before packing!

Hey, KM, did you ever get yourself to a trackday?
