Did my first considerable ride today with the EIII's ...550 miles , Mix Intersate, back roads, hard twisties and rough roads twisties and then 50 miles on the Parkway...Tracks very well and turns better than D402, Michelin Commander or Avon Venon X in my opinion...3000 miles on them now...i am quite sure i will like them for the rest of the way..they still look new.

Gunner, i liked the Avons but putting about 20k miles a year on the bike i only got about 6k mile on them so it would cost too much to run them... This is my first set of EIII's and if they don't work out i will probably got back to D402 which i got about 8500 miles. Overall bang for the buck is what i am looking for with performance.
