I've done 100km run and the wax should be gone now. However, I still feel a bit slidy on the rear wheel when going through bumpy corners. I dunno if this is the rubber problem or I don't have enough air in the tyre.
by the way, here's a short review:
This tyre grips well. Many corners can go at slightly higher speed compared to my old Duro Racing 80/90 and Dunlop TT900 90/80.
The tyre is heavy, and the sidewall is damn hard. I can feel the corner stability is increased even doing consecutive hard corners.
Wet road is good, I rode around Teluk Bahang early Sunday morning, when it rain a lil. I don't full throttle and do hard corner of course, but normal riding seems good.
However, it is not a good match with 80/80 front tyre. The turn in is slightly understeer, need more braking to shift weight to front wheel. If the speed is not fast enough (esp for ppl who use stock engine or stiffen front fork), you may encounter this slight understeering.
So, consecutive corners requires better timing and racing line. The rear js feel heavier.
I still think 80/80 F + 90/80 R is a better combination for consecutive corners. It is more neutral steer.
However, high speed cornering wise, 80/80F and 100/80R is very good. I can start to 1/2 throttle once I hit the apex, and full throttle all the way in js a while until corner exit. I can never do that with Duro Racing using this 160cc engine.
