I recently replaced Sumis (will never buy those again) with 555's on all 4 corners ... didn't even have 500 miles on them when I drove to BG last month. I took my usual "shortcut" and ran the Tail of the Dragon on the drive up ... weather was ideal and road was dry ... I was VERY impressed with the handling on the Dragon's curves and managed to stay up with most of the bikers ... at least no one passed me and I didn't hold up any traffic.
Yesterday, I played in the rain and the tires were up to the task ... certainly not as good as on dry roads but I felt safe even running triple digits. Especially considering the price the 555's are hard to beat ... I think I paid @ $750 for the set.
