What do you think of them ?
How do they grip ?
I'm totally unimpressed by mine tbh and wonder if its the same with others ??

i think they are very good tyres!

Far better than Toyo's imo!

Found they had good grip in the dry, didn't find them wear that fast and when they did slide it was gradual rather than all at once
SHIT in the rain tho

I found mine lasted for a good length of time.
If they are brand new, you may need to put some miles on them to get any initial contaiminants/agents off the rubber before they work at their best.
For the record I've also tried Toyo Proxy T1's - good, but very soft compound. At the moment I have Eagle F1's. So far I've been very pleased with them. I'm having a quick rack fitted soon so will hopefully be able to really push the tyres to see what they are capable of.
