Hard use from September to October which dropped down to Medium use in November til February netted me 6667 miles when I changed the rear .

My Metzeler Mez1 lasted under 900 miles on the rear
And my Dunlop D207 lasted about 3000 miles which I thought was ok for a Tyre that was gunned hard over my first Summer of Love on the SV , wish I had the Storms on it then though

Yep, scrubbed in my first set in the rain and they felt more sure footed than the BT-020s they replace right from the start.

ok spok to rob at halifax motorcycle spares. really good chap actually. Infact when he asked why i chose these tyers he said Youve been speaking to louise.

Anyways only done 20 miles on them commuting so far but they apear to be a lot slower to tip in than the bridgestones i had on before. Also and this sounds strange but they feel a bit noisyer and "feel heavier" its a strange feeling but ill let you know how they progress.

yes do check the pressures. I have noticed Rob does overfill them sometimes.

Don't know about being slower to tip in, but you do get an awful lot of feedback from them, which is a good thing.

I found them much quicker to tip in the my sticky icky dunlop sport tyres I had previously (which I found weird) do check the tyre pressures like other people have said. Think I'm running 39rear 36 front, what are other people using?
