the GT rear currently on my bike is the first one i've tried...previously, i've used the rear ST for touring ever since they discontinued the Strada...IMO, the GT is better than either of the others due to lasting longer...grip, traction, and wet weather behavior all seem as good or better...it definitely takes a bit longer to heat up than a Corsa III/Diablo Rosso Corsa which is why i've always run the Corsa III and now Diablo Rosso Corsa on the front no matter where/how i'm riding...here is a pic of the rear after just over a 5000 mile trip on it...i'm definitely impressed so far
5000 miles of rain; stop and go through CT, NY, NJ, etc; rain; Florida; rain; loaded down with gear; rain...eh, no excuses, i'm just a loser
Man, I'm still jealous of that trip. Glad we got to see you guys in the middle of it!
On the topic of tires... I've never run a mixed set like you do. Any noticeable issues from doing that? I'm not so much worried about the rear end, but having the front slip a few times when I tried Pilot Road 2's was just not acceptable.
Well, I just ordered up a set of Angel GT's for the Ninja. 190/55 in the rear as always. We'll see how they do...
i think you'll like them...i'm headed to MS on this same set tomorrow, here's hoping they have as many miles left in them as i think they do

No Q3's ???
I understand. Me slowing down on the street makes less need for the super sticky tires...
