Amazing wet grip, but dry grip not amazing, not bad on the track. But nothing on Supercorsas or Pilot Power 3's

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Yamaha YZF R6 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Great tyres on dry roads and excellent grip on the track (more than I can use). They don't feel so good on a damp/wet track, but that's to be expected given that they are not wet weather tyres. After 800 miles (including 2 track days) they are showing only a little sign of wear, which is very even across the tyres (120/60 front and 180/55 rear).
