the 491 is another one I hated. Started out nice, but got rock hard in no
time. no signs of excessive wear, but got hard as a roller skate wheel. The
old clay kind. the beemer felt like a cat on a linoleum floor.

much better sucess from the 591. I ate it up quick but I also ate up a lot
of twisties with confidence.

caveats:
- this was 6 years ago. may not be the same tire any more.
- I don't ride like anyone but me.

Ian-
Hope you have good wear from those. My bike had a Macadam rear when I got
it that was slick with less than 3,000 miles on it. Most likely a PO
problem though. I have had Michelin automotive tires last 50-60,000 miles
with no sweat. My front is a Michelin M48E (never heard of it...must be an
older model) that has at least 10,000 miles on it and doesn't even look
worn. Hard as hell compound I guess. Seems to handle well, but I've never
really pushed the goose even near it's limits so I don't know what to
expect. I'll soon be replacing it with a Dunlop 491 like the rear when the
funds are available.
Ciao!

Hi Again All,

Well....I did it...made a decision :-) I ordered a set of Michelin
Macadams.
I think I will be very happy. 120's in the rear and 110's on the front.

By the way...I have a set of ME 77's on my 70 Ambo. I aint no peg scraping
riding type and I have been pleased with the tires to date. Thanks for the
update though...

Regards....Ian

Just want to clarify something here - no chen shins for me either for tthe
same reasons that choopaman has said
I was resopnding to questions/thoughts about them
the ME77's are scary - agreed
if you like the ME88's - try Miche,lin macadams on the rear and a Laser on
the front - great for slashes
and most likely loopers

Thank you Richard
