A lot bit longer. I was slipping all over the place on my way to work today.

Yea,that's my only complaint with them. Pirellis have always been ready to go out of the garage and now I have to wait....Oh well we'll see if the BT-002RS tires are any better.

Yeah when they are cold they suck... Why do you think my bike got totaled. 40 degrees out on a dewy November morning and about 1/4 mile from my house is where my accident happened. The tires had no grip and they weren't slowing my bike down when I crested a hill. Warmer tires on a warmer day would have saved me.

That'll do it. They handled good at this one place where I ride spirited at today, where the Powers didn't inspire confidence.
