Wee update,

Done approx 400 miles in Glencoe this weekend. Tyres performed pretty good.

Weekend consisted of a wet ride to Inverness, a few runs along Loch Ness to F. Augustus, a damp run up the Applecross road and a wet run down followed by some changeable conditions (wet->dry) on the way back to F. Augustus through Muird of Ord.

I'll second what the reviewers said, they seem to be ready to go from the moment you start riding, but I chose to give them a few minutes to warm everything up anyway.

They are not as quick to turn in as the ST's were, but still good.
The twitchyness I felt in the wet with the ST's wasn't there, in the dry there was never any issue.
At no point did I feel uncomfortable with then or thought I'm running out of grip.

They might not be to everyone taste, but I am very happy with my purchase.
