They never seemed to warm up and actually stick, and the front had a weird profile so I ran it right to the edge without even trying. And they were miserable on tar and chip or bridge grating. Oh, and they have weird feedback... I've heard of people getting 12,000 miles out of a set, but mine lasted 7,000 and felt horrible the whole time. Played with tire pressure and was never satisfied. That was the original Road- not the Road 2. Turned me off Michelin though.

Pirelli all the way. Haven't found one I don't like. I'll try the Angel next time I need tires.
