Comment:
I am thoroughly impressed with these tyres. They are grippy in all conditions and give confidence in the dry and wet. The tyre profile, although described as sport/touring is much more round than previous tyres that I have had on this bike which makes them excellent at cornering. I put these tyres on just before a long around the UK charity ride and I worried that, because of the long motorway distances and the weight I had on the bike, that I might square them off. Not a bit, the profile after 3500 miles is still spot on. I would describe my riding style as "enthusiastic" and the tyres have exceeded any limits I'm willing to push on the public road. Best tyres that I have had on any of my bikes.
