Can't fault the tyres whatsoever, had Avon roadrider II fitted before, but after they let go in the rain from simply accelerating at the lights, I switched to Bridgestone (limited on choice given the tyre size of a divvy) and I will never look back, in the rain I can go round a corner just as fast/aggressive as I would in the dry. Maybe not as smooth as some other tyres on the motorway, but the bike buzzes all the time anyway so it doesn't phase me... If you're considering the tyres, just get them. Not to mention the fact they have only lost about 1-2mm of tread (centreband) after 3,000 miles.
