I love these tires. 200 miles on the set. They only asked to be worked hard. The essence of the tire is neutral, requiring little input in a straight line or banked turn. Full confidence at passing speeds. Turns are more relaxed than my Sportmax predecessors and its a quiet tire. I had heard the tire 'falls' into a turn, but I sense it doesn't so much fall as simply follow your thoughts. I am impressed by the integrity of this German tire engineering, and it shows in the ride. Even at 42 psi, the ride seems plush, but not soft. What remains is to see how they perform in the rain.
