Hello All, I replaced my stock Dunlop rear tyre @... a Boycott er I mean Bridgestone TW42. I now have 8700Km.on the bike but still don't have the confidence with this tyre that I had with the original. Although it hasn't slipped on me it has a definite "squishy" feel on any "leaned into" corner, hard to explain but its as if you could feel the bike running on the center blocks/knobs and then leaning over to the outer blocks but with a split second of nothing in the transition,this is where my heart momentarilly stops every time.The tyre is rotating as per arrow,I've tried 20psi to 30psi (I'm 200lb.)adjusted alignment as best as I can.Maybe that's just the nature of the tyre and I'll get used to it.Perhaps it needs the TW41 up front? Just wonderin' if anyone has felt this ......thanks.....cosmo
