So after a slight hiccup with the front tyre going down they are running fine. My previous tyres were the OEM Dunlop D252s. I am no racer by any means, but I'm quite confident (quite happy leaning the bike over :squid:) so I opted for the relatively racy 016s to fit in with this style.

The 016s FEEL amazing. As an example of this I tend to use the back brake a lot, not sure why but it is how I ride. The old Dunlops would lockup almost instantly any pressure was applied to the rear brake, where as the 016s are much easier to modulate, they still lock but I can tell when. This maybe they are just softer but I like it.

I'm very pleased with them to say the least, not sure about the longevity but the multi-compound layout should help.
