First impression: When they say that your new tires will be slippery, listen to 'em. Yikes! Fast sweepers on new rubber is a BAD idea...
Second Impression(After the tires scuffed in and my pulse returned to normal): Turn in is not quite as quick as the BT020 and takes slightly more effort, but feels way more linear and predictable. The Storms seem to hold a line through the corners quite easily, on the BT020, I always had to correct. These tires seem to inspire confidence. My chicken strips are already less then half of what they were on the BT020, and getting smaller.
Two up, with medium load in the twisties, I was pleasantly suprised. Both tires and passenger performed well.
High speed stability/pull to right/etc, etc, etc: I could discern no differance from the BT020.
Overall, I like 'em. I can be a bit ham-fisted so having to use a bit of muscle(not much, mind you) to throw the bike around bike around suits me well.
I'll keep you posted on their rain performance.
