Excellent tire for aggressive street riding. Tires aren't too soft and heat up very quickly. Not the best tread life, maybe 5-6,000 miles on the rear but, great for the twisities!

These tires came stock with my 2008 1098, and I loved them the first time around. Since my front tire was still looking quite well, I decided to grab another rear tire to replace the worn one. Being that I have had about a year with the bike now, I have learned to ride it much harder, and I have to say that nothing instilled more confidence in me with the bike than knowing that the tires I have grabbing the tarmac are doing their job, and doing it very well. The tires broke in very quickly, and I got the "Chicken Strips" within the first 100 miles. With mostly highway commuting, with some twisties thrown in for good measure, the tires are holding up very well. Of course not being a dual compound tire, I can see that the center is beginning to square off just a little after 1000 miles, but a good hard day in the mountains or through some farmland rounds it right out again. Ducati made an excellent pairing when they decided to use these tires on their superbikes, and I honestly cannot say anything bad about them, other than the aforementioned tread life, but that was completely understandable and wholly expected by me. Excellent tires! There isn't much more to say
