I just purchased these tires and broke em in last week. Took i out to the twisties...their GREAT! I love them. I was riding on the M1's and their good but I cant tell the difference since I been riding on them bald for a while. But so far, the BT-016's are great! They grip like a dream. The only thing now is....gotta wait on how long it last since the M1's didnt even get me past 3k miles!
