Only done 2000 k's so far, but initial impressions are good, especially in wet. Although, as always, compared to worn out's. Made in Korea week 0811, very agressive tread pattern, 7.72mm deep, now 7.35mm after 1300 miles so expect about 26k k's or 17k miles, which is a bit dissapointing after getting 50k k's from Pirelli Dragons.
Still the price was great, about half cost on Yokahama, etc.
Gave it the berries a bit in wet recently and reasonably impressed.
