6000 miles later...
I took the bike around europe, temperatures ranged from -5C to +40, other than the expected, the tyres performed really well.

The only "moments" I had were either down to the rider or road conditions.

I had the front end slide on a hairpin, but I blame it on a silly lean angle, low speed and ambient temperatures close to 0.
The rear spun up a few times in torrential rain, but the road surface was covered with crap as well. On clean (wet) roads they were ok. Overall they did improve wet weather behaviour compared to the ST.

The rear did square a bit (had to get back on motorways), I've got around 1/3 - 1/2 tread depth left.

Still happy with the purchase.
