They are OK, nice feel and fairly sticky in the twisties, (except in a particularly interesting loose gravel corner leading into Glacier Park) but the turn in is nothing as sweet as the Storms. Our total route tried to avoid freeways as much as possible and I would say we did 85% of the ride on 2 lane with a huge amount of sweepers and a very satisfying amount of twisties, (thanks to Sockmonkey for the great route planning).  I am very dissapointed to see my rear with over an inch wide flat spot and a bit less on the front. This is supposedly the harder compound? I weigh about 210 w/gear plus the trip gear. 40# front and 41# rear. Wilbur rear shock and GP fork springs, with med soft settings for my ride.Anyway, unless the rest of the life of these tires shows me some love, and continued good handling, I'll likely not get another set.</blockquote>
