BT016's or BT016 Ultra Hypersport Pro's?111/James wrote:IMO some tires slip when they are too low. I think it depends on the compound/carcass as well. If the compound/carcass is not made to be ran at lower pressures it can be just as bad. On my battlax bt0016s I feel unsafe if they get too low and have had the front slip on me when the pressure was too low. Just my opinion, I don't have any data to back it up other than personal experience.
Another concern that I don't think I have heard anyone else voice is potholes. I would rather hit a pothole with a stiffer tire and let my suspension absorb it than hit it with an under inflated tire and end up bending or breaking the rim.
There's a big difference, the BT016's are stock single compound. The Ultra Hypersport Pro's are a triple compound front and 5 compound rear (hard center and progressively softer toward the sides).

It was the stock tires.
Speaking of too low. I failed to check my front tire pressure and nearly dropped my bike at ecr on the first lap of session two this weekend. I was running power cup 2ct

James--when fixxer talks about 2CTs, he is specifically referring to the Pilot Power 2CTs, not one of Michelin's other dual-compound tires.
