I think I'm gonna have to go for another set at the end of this month.
My current front is only just going to manage the next two trips I'm going on and I can't afford to try anything else. |

This makes interesting reading.
I have thought of a few questions. 1) What are they like towards the end of their lives? Once they get towards the end of it, do they turn a bit squiffy (technical term). I'm used to Bridgestones which maintain their riding qualities throughout their lives. 2) Anyone done a trackday on them yet? How did they cope? 3) Anyone done many miles on them in the proper depth's of winter? I've had experiences where tyres can have fine grip in warm wet weather, yet be attrocious in cold or cold and damp conditions. Cheers Dan. |

I'd say they perform pretty well. Despite my front conti being worn and the rear 020 being pretty good, the back end was still sliding a long time before the front started. Obviously these tyres can't really be compared with something properly sticky, and I wouldn't want anybody to get these on the assumption that they were fantastically grippy. For a sports touring tyre they do bloody well and they still last a while. |
