OK, this is my opinion of the R5 Trail (note: the regular R5 are different) after 500 miles-
Naughty speed stability- excellent
Straight line braking- great
Cornering dry- not slipped once
Cornering wet- not slipped once
Road surface feedback- good (although it feels hard)
White line wondering- surprisingly twitchy on banded\ white line surfaces, both front and rear (tyre pressure is spot on)- think Pirelli Phantom twitchy
Anyhoo, this is the first set of Michelin's in 16 years that haven't been perfect.
