Just a semi random comment here about tires. Seems from my experience that almost every time you try a new tire it seems better than what you just got off of. Of course its very rare that you move to a different tire that you know going into it, is going to be worse but I think a large part of this is that street tires go through so many heat cycles that by the time you replace them their grip levels are much lower than whey were when you installed them and the change has been so slow and gradual that its impossible to notice. Anyway, just thinking in text here.

In addition not to mention the placebo effect when first test riding the new tires is that anything new is going to have better grip than the grip levels from a worn tire. Where as it's going to be a tough evaluation at least until you have at least 500 miles on the new tires and scrubbed in.
