Just put an Altimax on my bike, replacing a hydroedge. Except I used a 60 series. I love it! Cannot hardly tell from a mc tire.
Video proves you do NOT run on the sidewall when cornering. Also, that you still have MORE rubber on the road cornering, than a mc tire does running straight!
Plus, 1350# load capacity, vs 850#.
Mine is staying!

Here is the corresponding video from Dag. Same bike but with a bike tire and similar turns etc.

Looks like he was leaning more on the MC tire than the CT tire. Used the relationship between what appears to be the kick stand on the left side of the bike and the drain line on the right side of the bike and the road surface for this observation.

I made these two videos the same day. Same bike, same rider, same road, same speed. I´m planning making another video with my new Kumho Exta CT on this twisted road this summer.
