Tried these for a 4000 miles ride through Europe over 4 weeks, expecting mostly dry conditions (May 2019), but got 3 weeks of rain or sleet. In the wet, I didn't feel that these tires could handle any speed safely, but was told by my following companion that water was being displaced and a dry-ish track was being left.. in the dry, however, these tires have plenty of feed back and could handle full lean on my MV Agusta TV, on good tarmac. Even with a slow puncture in the rear, the tire held well on twistys and fed back the information that their was pressure loss without losing grip, as the bike became unstable. These tires aren't designed for sport touring, but if you could guarantee dry conditions, they would be a good choice if your wanting to use the sorry rubber. The dual compound rubber meant that the wear down the middle (harder rubber), was acceptable for the long straight roads, which of course was avoided whenever possible when seeking out twisty mountain and coast roads across 11 countries.
