These were fitted as standard on my new r1200rt and the bike felt like a different machine to the previous one which had metzelers fitted. Poor wear on the right side of the front tyre left a ridge that made the bike very difficult to steer, it would try to run on in corners and never inspired confidence from the outset. The rear quickly squared off and after 4000 miles I've had enough, despite there being plenty of (uneven) tread left they are going to be replaced. I have had plenty of unpleasant moments tipping into corners and to cap it all the ride is very harsh.
