i just put them on my 1o this week.
so far only done a couple hundred miles .
so far tip in a bit better than the 2ct`s i had on before but not as extreme as the racetecs.
hold the lines really well and feel planted all the way through the corners.
warm up real quick too.
 
not sure how long they gonna last though my mate just replaced his on  his girly gixxer 750 so not sure what the ten is gonna do to em..
overall so far so good.

play with your tire presures to get best wear ... can you take a pic to show how they were wearing maybe we can help with more or less air

what pressures you running

same thing happenend last night around wales.stopped for fuel and dropped the pressure and the bobbling stopped.
was running 39 in rear and dropped it to 37 now .
was ok on a normal speed run but then when the speed was upped and the heat increased  thats when it bobbled.
i know the tyres are pretty soft but i didnt expect to create that much heat in the tyre on normal road riding...

same sort of thing happened on mates pirellis bsb``s   his tyre had small chunks/tears appearing on his rear and thats on a fz1
