By Lloyd riding a Kawasaki ZX-6

Pros:

Outlasted any other brand of tire that I've ran by atleast 1000 miles. Gave exceptional feedback in all conditions, and gave great traction right from the first turn.
 

Cons:

Hard to measure rear tread depth once it is getting close to used up. It measured 2/32 and 350 miles later the rayon was showing. I now know how the tire wears and can better predict this, but it totally took me off guard the first time. I was 100 miles from home-so it was a long unsafe ride home.

Balanced tire for sporties By Bar Arel riding a 1995 HONDA CBR900RR

Pros:

Decent tire for sport riding.
 

Cons:

I had a rear T light drift under very small provocation from the right hand during a turn when the tires are damn hot, I have a feeling that under high temps it might lose stability concentration.

If they want a high performance tire, several of my riding friends switched to these and love them for high performance riding/track days. NE roads which are pretty abrasive.
