Got them on my R1 at the mo.

Feckin good tyres for thrashing around on!
Great lean angles, and only let go when I got a bit ham fisted mid bend.

As for wear, dunno. They're quite new.

I'd recommend em, old design or not!

check the manufacturing date, more than 5 yo and they are scrap.
used the M5's and they're perfect road tyres, even up to spirited track daying until you start taking the piss whilst cranked over in 2nd :rollin
