Was able to put in 100 miles today all in the rain. I was able to only put on about 15 miles the day I got them in the dry so still don't have them scrubbed in properly.

So far I am pretty impressed especially in the wet. I took one of my favorite 25mph posted 90' turns at 50 in the rain which was normal for the old BT57's in the dry. No wiggles, drama they just stuck.

Very smooth running and as I said earlier they doesn't seem to track pavement imperfections but stay on course.

I'm getting used to the turn in and find it not bad just different. (rounded profile as was mentioned earlier.) But the nice thing is that Instead of having to stop the lean with these you just go to the angle and it stops where you want it to and holds that. Or you can change if you need or want, no fuss.

I was very interested in the wet handling since in Oregon if you don't ride in the rain you don't ride and I didn't want a tire that would curtail my fun. I think so far these will do fine.
