These tires are so good that I am so happy. The tire compund is very soft and you can move
the blocks with your fingers. They warm up very quickly too.
First 2 days when I got them it's a bit unsettled because the shape is not set yet. But
after around 150km done it's starting to give me some more feedback. The steering now is
very sensitive (too much in fact !!) and direct now.
I had nitrogen inflation and the pressure seems to keep very well.
Grip is much much better than Goodyear Eagle F1. No more drifting on fast corners and
gives you more confidence. Braking is very good although i haven't really tried hard. The
is one very grippy tire.
Road noise is close to zero if you are on normal road. I drove on some tram tracks and
there's no tram-lining and very quiet.
Initially I was a bit frightened to switch from directional tyres to asymmertical coz
they're supposed to be better but in this case it's not at all, even better. They look
more like ContiSportContact 2 than other tyres but the blocks will flatten on the road
when you are cornering, so it acts like a slick tyre (according to Michelin). (check
attached pic)
I recommend those who need new tyres have a try at this one !
