From the start, these tyres have given a good impression, providing superb traction on both dry and wet surfaces. Despite their load rating, they are comfortable to ride in. They do, however, generate more noise than I expected, though it is quiet enough not to become a serious issue. In the 12 weeks since I had them fitted, I've travelled more than 3,000 miles, and they have provided the anticipated decent performance and have consistently provided good grip in dry and often wet conditions.
