vp2 sport/extreme??

ride mag writes

(extreme) avons road legal track tyre lacks the outright grip of a pirelli or feel of a bridgestone. theyre fine on the road - 2 stars

(sport) road tyre for sportsbikes, decent enough option - 2 stars

dunno if that helps but literally just looked at that table before lookin on ere so thought id post it up

Well I have the Viper xtreme's fitted, replaced Metzeler Racetecs, they have been great, lots of grip and think they slightly more stable at speed in a straight line.

Did my first track day on a set of xtremes last year, more than good enough for 99 R1 they were fitted to and the novice pilot riding. Decent grip levels and I got another 1800 miles out of the rear after the track day.
