ok Time for a review
Mileage:
At the moment i have clocked up just over 5000miles on the rear tyre and the tyre looks good for another 1000miles (i'm pretty hard on tyres could easily get 10,000 if your careful). The front tyre lasts about the same distance 5-6k.
Grip:
The front tyre grips as well as the bt45 it replaced in all conditions. The rear tyre i would say grips aswell as a rear bt45 in the dry although it does take longer for the tyre to warm up. In the wet they can get a bit squirmy when banked over but that suits my style so not really an issue.
Handling:
The wider rim makes the bike more stable in a straight line due to the flatter profile but it still tips in just as quick and easy as it has always done. now lets talk chicken strips both tyres have no chicken strips and i mean none however this was achieved with a peg dragging amount of lean so i feel that the contact patch has been maximized by using all of the tyre available (Bike tyres aren't cheap why leave bits of them unused)

Not the best review but paperwork and the like has never been my strong point
