Anybody here try them out on your Valk? What are your thoughts? Would you buy them again?
Will soon be time to shop for new tires for my Valk ... any insight would be appreciated!
TIA!  Smiley

Never had one. A friend of mine with a Magna said he wouldn't have another set
if they were free....about like me and the E3.

I've got a set on the Goldwing, but only a couple hundred miles worth.  So far, kinda squirrelly when pulling out from a side street and accelerating, and a little bit through the twisties.  It seems like the curvature is not the same from front to rear.  However, they did great in the rain one morning on the way to work.  They also held up just fine the other night when I had to do some full on panic braking for some dumbass that pulled out in front of me to go the same direction (I got less than two feet from him coming down from 65mph before he finally hit the gas-- I thought it was The End).  So I'm still in evaluation mode.

I've a Shinko tire sitting in my shop just waiting for the day!  It's for the front, replacing a Dunlop E-III.  I'm getting good miles from the E-III so far.

I've read quite a few good reports on other forums. I may try them.
