Hey

Hey the guy from Sweden....This was just the summary...please buy the magazine for the details....it is impossible to give all the details here....I think that the general information is desirable for all the forum members....

In magazine they told that the test has been riden by using Michelin Pilot Sport tires on the road and new Pilot Race tires on the track...
