Tried them out to today, managed to get 40 miles on them this morning. Initial impressions are very good, has stiff carcuss not unlike the old Dunlop GPs and very different to the Super Corsa which was the last Pirelli tyre I had.

My M7RRs were squared off on the rear and the front was a horrible shape so it's difficult to compare. But I'd say so these are the best road tyres I've had.

Early days, not really pushed them that much yet and not tried them in the wet, but very impressed so far.

Just been out on my own for a late night blat and finally got a chance to actually use them properly. Effing mental tyres on a warm dry night, very very impressed. The profile is lovely and the bike just drops in, but very stable at the same time. The grip on the edges feels just like your on the snotty SCs.

Sounds good Monty.

I always liked the original in the dry.
