Grip, stability, and overall confidence on the road have remained consistent throughout its lifespan. Very impressed with the durability and quality.
Review: Absolutely Yes. - These tires are fantastic. I put them on my Ninja650 and found they're perfect in rain and sun. They're confidence inspiring, and they grips perfectly in the corners. I then proceed to get this brand and model tire for my cbr600rr as well to the same assessment. I installed them in my living room, with hand tools only. They have been going for about 4k miles on the cbr and 2k ok the ninja. Its beyond worth every penny.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent tires!
*by I***L on July 2, 2026*

Best tires I've ever had on my bike. I get between 9k and 11k miles on a set depending on riding conditions and how I'm using the bike at the time. Phenomenal traction in the rain. I'll pass cars in rainstorms and I'm sure they think I'm crazy, but the bike is solid. Smooth up to 155mph and I wish my track had a longer straight section to try above that speed.
