Comment:
The Road 5 Trail is exceptional for grip and stability, longevity is good, but the rear tyre scallops noticeably if you do a lot of high power cornering, although this does not seem to affect its performance (even though visibly can look alarming).
I have used the tyres on high speed German autobahns, high speed sweeping A-roads, poor surface country lanes, on gravel roads and rocky paths and they have performed beyond my expectations in every environment.
