Here's my take on the A40s
I put them on and did just over 100 miles Wednesday evening breaking them in. Then on Thursday (yesterday) I did a 300 odd mile journey to Edinburgh and back. The tyres stuck to the road like glue and braking was great. Did about 30 miles of town and motorway riding in the rain yesterday morning although I took it easy but they performed well.
I suppose it's too early to comment the wet handling but they stuck like glue to the road on the winding Scottish coast even at speed and leaning of the bike that at times had my heart in my mouth (actually the shit almost out of my arse) but I kept the underwear clean
