so which one came out top for dry cornering/braking?

and was pirelli in the list?

Dry Cornering - Potenza S-03
Dry Braking - Goodyear Revspec

No Pirelli.

The interesting thing when you read the full article on how they did the tests, is how close some of the tyres were.

I was impressed by the Maxxis performance for the price.

The way the points worked out was that the winner got 100 points, and whatever % the other tyres were behind is what score they got. e.g. if the second tyre was 0.8% worse, it then got 99.2 points for the test, if it was 3% worse, it got 97.0

So the Maxxis out of all of the tests was only a combined total of 0.5% worse than the winners cumulative score !!!

No, I am not a Maxxis dealer !!!

The tyre I was going to go for was the Goodyear GSD3. Not any more...

More on the BFYB version (sorry about the formatting), but if you concentrate you can work it out ....
