I have them, no road noise (on first 2000 miles thus far) and AMAZING grip but without the jolt and jerk that you get from the sidewalls of the S03's.

I LOVE THEM
and wet traction is much better than S03's or REO750s(?)

Have had these for a while. Stock tire size in the front, but went with 255's for the rear. great tires. although tire wear rating is higher then stock they grip better due to the agressive tread pattern. feels great with the 255's, and is much more better in wet conditions then stockies.

i rocked these for two weeks and brang them back. they suck. very loud tire (rides bad) they do not wear evenly, i didnt find them to be sticky enough either. i work at a tire shop that only sells BFG and Michelin and i never recomend these tires ever.

This is very strong opinion about a product that you are selling.
Thank you.

I had them for 178 miles on my Ultraleggera's, and I loved them. Granted, I never drove them hard since they were still breaking in, but I found turn in was crisp, they werent TOO loud, they had a decently stiff sidewall, and the wet traction was excelent.
