Pros: Traction wet is pretty good, dry is very good. When I am able to get out and drag the pegs, they seem to hold up very well.
   
Cons: None
 

The ST is my daily commuter, 97mi round trip, half freeway, half parkway. The significant majority of my mileage is commuting, and they seem to hold up very well. NOTE that the OEM tires are the only ones I've had on the ST, so I cant compare them to others, but so far I have no real reason to try a different tire, other than for comparison sake.
