I have these on mine. They are very stiff and handle the road well. Performance in the rain and snow is average I guess. They have worn well after about 10k miles; no cupping or uneven wear or anything. And, most importantly, they look cool.

BUT-

They are loud, loud, loud, noisy. I swear they double the road noise. And they seem to be getting louder as they wear. It's like riding in a jeep. It's not as bad with the windows up obviously, but it is LOUD with the windows down.

Somebody on the list warned me of this before I bought them, and I shrugged off what I now know to be good advice. If you don't mind the extra noise, then they're excellent.
