What Yamaha XJ6 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Very light and manoeuvreable in warm and dry conditions, but overrated considering these are claiming to be designed with wet weather in mind, these are by far the most unpredictable and slippery tyres I've owned. I can't wait to get these off.
