Some guy who has crashed enough to know says he always walked away without injury in them.

I understand, I hear bad things about those stock kawi tires. And if they are any where near as shitty as the stock tires on the R6 I’d be afraid of them…But than again those shitty tires didn’t stop me from pushing them to the limits.  
It just caught up with me after a while. :lol  
I will say the one good thing about the stock R6 qualifier is the fact once those tires got hot you could get he rear to step out real easy. Perfect for setting up a hair pin turn.

I’m fine on the tire front with the Q2’s tons of life left.
