Only done 340 miles, still on limiter, so can't really tell for sure yet! But they feel really well planted on corners even at low speeds.

Thinking exactly the same

Believe me with the full fat going through them they have no answer. I had mine ripping up in the middle just accelerating hard. Bin em as quick as.

Have to admit I was never comfortable on the Conti's that came on the bike, switched over to K3's and it's like night and day, but this is also because of the confidence boost I get from using them (same on my trackbike) they just stick to the road like glue! ;D

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll see how the Contis feel once the restriction is lifted. I've been told by quite a few people now that they wear like Cheese!

Ducky how many miles do you get form K3s?

Hard to tell as I've only put them on recently and have about 500miles on them so far and a few laps at the Ring (still look perfect), but to be honest I'm not fussed about the mileage life, I'm more for outright grip as it's just a weekend toy.

My first S had the K3s and they were shot in 1800miles. The 211GPs I've got fitted now look like they will do similiar.
