ok i installed my michelin pilot sport sc tires today and all i have to say is WOW!!! these tires grab and the smoothness they provide now that they are balanced is amazing the bike is completely a differnt rider now..... i would highly recommend them to anyone that has a phantom or any other bike that is out there that they can get them as they make your bike the difference between night and day..... as for riding around corners the stock tires on my bike would fold or feel like it if you took a corner to hard and feel like you was going to loose it by the rear end coming out from under you...now i took the same turn i have always as i did befor at 28-30mph and i did it today at 38mph and still felt confident enough with the new tires that i could probably hit 40 but i didnt want to push it at all....the tread design looks great.... would highly recommend them to anyone.....

Tyres make a huge difference...so does the correct tyre pressure.
Also, look into ride-on brand tyre flat stop and life extender compound...read the testamonials... I wouldn't leave home without it...the Majesty is too darn heavy to push...

oh, yeah if you want the bike a little more stable around the corners at higher speeds get a stiffer rear shock that will help keep the rear tire on the ground better
