I had a set fitted on Thursday last and can tell you that dry grip is excellent. There is no tearing on the edges/shoulders yet, despite some spirited riding that would have Avon Storms puckering up...
So far I'm liking the very progressive roll-in to full lean, the front has a very round profile which makes them lean in nicely and are super stable banked over. Downside is that the steering is a lot slower, making fast direction changes harder - it can also feel like the bike is understeering because I expect it turn faster.
So far a happy camper with 400+ miles on them.
