For the money, you can't beat this front tire. The tread is DEEP at highway speeds it will cause a slight road noise but no vibrations that I noticed. On grooved cement freeway roads, my bike used to shimmy a little especially when the road had a seam. on those same surfaces, the bike doesn’t seem to respond in any way. It Looks aggressively good. The ride is much better, grip is good. and Chapperall sells new production date tires each and every time. I found out the hard way, some vendors have tires that are 7 years or older. I expect a ton of miles on this one the TWI is burried deep in the thick tread.
