Just fitted a set of these road treaded tyres to my R as i mainly use the XT for my 50 mile a day commute and the half worn Michelin Seracs were quite frankly getting scarry on wet roundabouts
only so far done the trip to work which is all A roads but the XT now feels totally different, the steering is so much quicker, due to the tyres more rounded profile. Just lacking the confidence as yet to really test the limits, but i'm geussing the side stand will hit before the tyres let go. They dont seem at all bothered with overbanding, white lines or any road imperfections & I have been playing with drifting purposely across overbanding just to confirm these tyres don't react at all where the Seracs would twitch.
obviously they would be no use off road, but I didn't get them for that (I even sold a part used pair of TCK's to get them!)
Cost wise they aren't the cheapest at �147 for the pair from Roundandblack off ebay probably 30-35% more than the prefered (by most) distanzia's but having used Contis in the past I like them, the tread pattern alone is worth some extra pose points
I will update when i have had time for a fun ride rather than just a commute in the dark
