I'm running these tyres on my Street Triple r and did 1200 mile around the Ardennes last weekend on them. Going by the look of them I was worried about how they would hold up in the wet but in heavy rain they performed really well.

Overall I'm really happy with these.

Just fitted a pair onto my S1000R. I'm doing a Snett trackday on the 20th and then I'm off to Cadwell in July. Looking forward to seeing how they get on.

Hi Graham,

Did you ever try the RS tyres on your R? I've got the M7RRs on mine and now squared off after 4,000 miles. I found that although the M7s have tons of grip, for me I just never felt they gave me any feedback. Curious to know what you ended up with?
I'll update on my m7rrs as the page before was when I just had them fitted. I've since had a couple sets and done Germany twice

The above is spot on. Loads of grip for the majority of road riding but lack feel and when you start riding harder they don't give much warning when they let go

I'm about to use some pirelli rosso corsa 2 as my next set hopefully get life in the middle and feel on the sides with decent grip
Sorry mate, only just seen this.

TBH, fitted rear RS last month, front had been on since Christmas but not used.

Running them at 38 in rear instead of 42 as felt quite nervous & harsh at higher setting. Happy with the way they work, can't get the rear to the edge of the tread on the road whereas the S20s would (toe sliders touching ground).


Not sure on mileage, have done 500 and they don't look too bad (Pilot Power 2CT on KTM SD990 was finished at 1300 miles).
