Driving on a combination of roads for 6100 spirited miles
Both Front & Rear tyres have a hard compound centre which helps with wear.
Both F & R tyres have sound micro grippage - where the tyre forms into the surface, but it needs smooth handling to do so. Macro grip is pretty standard stuff.
Fantastic dry grip on the F tyre, with no slippage at lean angles on A & B roads (65 - 85mph). Doesn't like gravel just like any other tyre so add caution. R tyre needs loads of heat before grip's affective (4 miles dry avg. 65mph). R Slips on dry too often in town with hard braking, but good cornering characteristics & responsive.
F & R hold their own in the wet, with more confidence in country bends on wet surfaces (@ 65 - 70mph) than dry funny enough, but caution on soaked surfaces with only macro grip taking effect. The F tyre offers good drainage, R tyre keeps up fine with good grip on the edge.
On M roads (60 - 1600mph) & track there was no issue with grip & handling on turns & overtaking. Responsive R tyre.
Back tyre needed replacing after 4500 miles, 6000 for the front. Wish I could've had more.
Comfy & R6 don't go together!
Priced around the same as Avon Viper Sport AV59's. Ok price.
Great for starting out on race track.
