How are these tires in the "slow or fast"  / "tight" twisties?  Will they fall favorably into the curve / and hairpins turns? Without any wollowing and extra effort? Pressure recommendations?

I have reviewed the archives and looking for my last bit of info before purchasing one. Running Avons right now. Thanks

I mounted my first ATT on the rear this spring, after riding on Avon Cobras for seven years.  I now have just under 6000 miles on this combination.  The ATT handles very well in tight turns, and I've noted that it works better than a MT in gravel and in straight line braking.  I've run pressure at 37 psi which is on the low side.  I was looking for a more comfortable ride in my old age.  The Valk does start to wobble when I get around 100 MPH, and I've been told that higher tire pressures will correct that.  The only other potential issue with the ATT is the higher profile...

I've tested the Austone quite a bit in tight twisties.  I'm confident this tire will not give out on me.

A T T for 8000 miles or so. 42  43 P S I in the A T T. Don't realize HOW far I'm leaned over here lately til the pavement is nibbling at the toe/sole area of my boots. The A T T I M H O-is more capable than 92% of us on Valkyries-me included. I have NOT heard up to this point in time WHAT zackly are the "wear out" miles on the A T T. There are WORSE choices for D/S on a Valkyrie-I DO NOT know the worse ones.  :roll: RIDE SAFE.
