I bought a pair of Maxxis Goldspeed supermoto tyres (race intermediate pattern but a road compound) as the Pirelli Dragons that came with my Duke were not very confidence inspiring in the cold and wet. I was't expecting much as I always thought Maxxis were a low budget tyre but I'm more than pleasantly suprised so far. Even in their unscrubbed instate they offer bags more grip in the wet and turn in very nicely (they were considerably better after dropping the pressure to 26psi front and 28 rear from the 32/34 the fitters had put in). Can't wait until we get a dry day to see what they're like then :)
