I've been running a Raven on the front for about 3000 miles and I just had one mounted on the rear yesterday. The front has performed flawlessly so far and from what I can tell from my short "scuff-in" ride last night I think the rear will perform well also. The profile of this tire makes for a smoother turn in than the well worn Strada had. To my 54 year old reactions it feels like I can pick a more precise line through a corner. Being a new tire I only pushed it to about 1/2" of the chicken strip but it felt just as grippy as the Strada did. It does have a much deeper tread than the Strada ever had. So initial impression is good. (Message edited by rwven on April 21, 2010) |

I've had a rear raven on for about 4000 miles and have no complaints. The tire has a flatter profile compared to others. I had a strada on before the raven and like it much better than the worn out strada. I should be able to get another 2000 miles out of it and have another one sitting in the garage waiting to replace it. |

Mine looked like this @ 9800 miles
No complaints here either. |

I ran a few sets on my Suzuki Bandit prior to getting my Uly. I was getting around 5000 miles out of a rear and 7000 on the fronts. They had good grip and for the price they are hard to beat. I'll probably end up with some after I use up my clearance Pilot Roads. |
