Great tire for summer use (but with caveats noted below)
Absolutely insane grip but buyer beware this is effectively a slick with some tread cuts to make it street legal.
Like a slick, the tire needs a decent amount of warm up and use before that grip is available. This is NOT a tire with a 1 or 2 turn warm up cycle. Assume a good 5-10 minutes of use before grip is acceptable. If you don't respect the warm up window, you WILL be on the ground watching the bike slide on the ground in front of you.
For street riding, watch out for little streams crossing the road. Grip disappears quickly in the wet.
Respect the tire's design, respects its limitations and you will be rewarded.
