I was just looking at Bike Bandit and I could get a complete set for $170. I think that's awesome as if I were to bust one or what have you, I wouldn't be out much money and I could afford to have two sets of tires a year and still get more mileage than what most get at the same price for one set. I'm not a track rider and I don't totaly eat up the twisties, but I do need something to handle pretty well and I thought that these did.

Yeah, and what kind of mileage are they going to yeild?? Not much, probably. I'm not using this bike for racing and buying tires just for the name is not my thing either.

Do I make any sense?

Corsa III's with the type of riding you describe... around 3-4K my guess.

Shinko's are generally considered a drag tire, hence the quick warm up.
