Had a friend with a Buell lightning that was running them. Then, read an article in one of the moto mags where the riders happened to run into an area of their ride with marbles (small gravel) and they claimed the tires were both predictable and forgiving. This was enough to suggest I at least try them as I was never pleased with the D252 OEM tires. Ordered the tires and had them put on. Wow!! they are everything my friend had told me and with the gravel I have on the roads around here those guys in the mag were right to. I had to launch the shoes on the Harley and went with the Milestones which I have also been pleased with. The attack tires are a soft compound and you are capable of leaving a good mark in the rubber with your fingernail when they are warmed up but when you later check the mark it's gone. They warm up quick too. Glad to here folks in Europe have had good luck with them too.
