Default BFG F1 runflats

Just got new runflats back on my 99FRC.

Is it me or do these tires ride rough? also they don't seem to hook up as well as my Michelins did.

When I need to get better street tires, any suggestions?
thanks

Jeff

You should start your own thread with issues. When you do, try to be a little more clear. It seems like you're asking about the multifunction switch on the left of the steering column. That switch can sometimes be removed and easily repaired. Make sure you post the issues you're having with it in your new thread...
