Anyone tried these tires? I've run 712's and they are good except they love to follow grooves. 230's were better but, they too follow grooves. Just not as bad. Both gripped the road like Velcro. Wet or dry. Inexpensive but not cheaply made tire. I can't tell you how many miles are on them. Id say over 5, 6 k easy. I'll have to look later and see how old they are.
Anyway, I've got a set on order for the SG.
 
They might not follow so bad, they don't have the center groove like the 712 and 230. I've got 705 on 2 bikes and they do pretty good. On the tiger they start wandering with grooves at about 105. So legal speeds they do great on a 500lb bike.
 
The day was bright and the temp was responsible. So out I went on the SG. After a fill up I hit the road. I went looking for grooves and tar snakes. I was amazed at how invisible they became! Not even a hint of them. I put on 80+ miles on these tires today and no line following. Just amazing.
