Tourance EXPs worked very well in dry and wet conditions in Eire on bumpy tarmac. Ride home through Wales on smooth (wet) A roads was at a quick pace. EXPs were very precise, handling high speed bends and braking predictably. Very experienced riding buddy on Honda CBF1000 said that "he coudn't have ridden quicker", whilst I felt my tyres had a lot left in them.

Tourance EXPs get my vote if quick road riding is your thing.
