Comment:
Very impressed with the level of grip and longevity of them. They are now worn right to the legal limit, and still performing, but they are really loud at slow speeds, sounds like a wheel bearing and rumbling noise. Very soft side walls so no good steering feedback, I initially thought the pressure in the tire was too low, but no it was the sidewalls. Good performing tire, full braking and cornering in the dry and wet, very impressive after reading what other people are saying. I would like to try the new PROXES T1-R if they fixed the side wall problem, then they may be on par with the Bridgestone RE720. I think the full V tread design lets them down they need outer tread found on T1-R.
