I'm running 36 front and 42 rear and have no probs at all.

Start at those settings and see how it feels, a few PSI either side of those initial settings should be right for you.

PS. I'm running BT016's

Just wondered how you rate the BT016's? I've heard they're pretty good but never heard much about what they're like on Mille's/RSV's.

36/38 on Pilot Powers (180 rear) works for me. Think the recommended rear is 42 or something around there so 30 sounds way low.

Bt016's will be my next tyre. Everyone i know who has tried them really rates them. A mate has them on an rsv and has put 3k on them and still going. He said it's the first ever set of tyres he has ever had that are wearing quicker on the sides than in the middle.

I'm gonna give it a whirl.

If that's true dito. I actually quite like the standard Dunlop RR's for grip and feedback etc but they don't seem to be wearing that well and I reckon they'll be finished way before 3k.

I use 36F/38R for the road....................

I'm got BT016's on my Factory, best road tyres i have ever used!! I run a 190/55 on the rear. Keeping its shape, and as Spoonz said, the sides are wearing before the middle!!
