Nothing wrong with macadams. Grippy track tyres offer no advantages on the road over good sports touring rubber (BT020s, AV45/46, Macadam 100s etc).

Id disagree with that - theres alot of sportbikes that would take exception to having rubber like that fitted. It depends alot on the bike and the rider.

You certainly can go beyond the limits of sports touring rubber on the street.

There are certainly a few people here who would shit there pants if I snuck into there garage late at night and secretly fitted Macadams to there bikes before they went for a rideout. Im sure they'd see the funny side of it as we where fishing their bikes out of the hedge :lol:
