Has anyone used these tires?
Handling, mileage ?
What's your opinion?
Thank you,
Ragman

I've run through a couple sets and that's what's on my K bike now.

Mileage is average. I get 4000-4500 on the rear, which is about what I get with Macadams or any other tire except the Pirelli Sport Demons. I tend to ride it pretty hard. In my more sedate days, I got 9000 miles on a set of tires. Anyways, they fare about the same as most tires in longevity.

Their grip is pretty decent, although I'm not fond of their feel when they start to let go. Then again, my suspension setup sucks, so that could well be a contributing factor.

Both the front and the rear are prone to heavy scalloping. More so than any tire I've ever used. Doesn't seem to be a problem, but when you lean, the bike makes more noise.
