anyone have any luck with these tires. I am about to install them, they tout long milelage as well as decent grip.

at any rate, i will post my thoughts after a few hundred miles.

I put a set on a friends S2 before he headed off to Texas from MN.
I've not looked at them yet but he says they are wearing VERY well considering he slabbed it most of the way down and back.
One warning, they are really snotty when you first put them on. Be real careful for the first 50-100 miles.

I've got a set in the garage waiting to be put on my S2. I've got about 500 miles or so left on my BT021's. Gotta burn them off first..

put the first few on the BT-023's (finally)

initial notes:
turn in is more immediate, almost like falling into the turn. sharper/more lean angle turns seem more noticable over gradual, smooth curves.

once leaned in though, they feel SOLID! like you could ride all day with your knee down. they seem to warm up pretty quickly, and feel like glass on smooth road.

aside from a real abrupt turn in, I love them. gonna have to get used to the feeling still,

will post how they wear as I put the miles on.
