sure can, for me, Power without control means nothing.
I used the Pilot Slicks too but found myself sliding around too much once the tire was a temperature and giving way without warning.
the Dunlop (the new N-Tech) is a much better tire when it comes to grip and ensurance while full leaned, I like the tall rear for clearance and it works with my riding style.
My style is as follow, I don't like to force any bike into turning, I also like to be able to change lines while on the turn, I like to break deep too so the tall tire helps me with all of the above by giving me more clearance to change lines while on the turn, it gives me a better feel entering due to the hight of the tail without having to drop the forks too much and once off the brakes the bike doesn't move too much once the tire hits the ground again.
changing it to this hight on the rear screws around with your grearing on top speed but right now i have one up in the back and stock front size and it works great for me, lots of power exiting, keeping the throttle on sooner and has an advantage of been forgiving on the torque department in case of an error.
tall is slow on straight but hey...i'll see you under breaking and exiting
