Very good wet weather tyre, but after a summer on R888's I found them far more of a road tyre....

Highly Recommended.

Get them, you won't be disappointed.

As dunx has said they are a very good road tyre and will handle track days fine but they don't compare in the dry to an R888 but they are very capable in the wet

Not a bad tyre at all, for the money! Good both in wet & dry.
On UK roads, only found the limit of them a few times!

I was in same decision 4 months ago and asked exact same questions. I have them on at the moment and find them very good indeed including in the wet. Good value too, buy from openeo or camskills believe they are best for price

Just had a set put on yesterday....gotta echo the comments above. So far only driven them in the wet, but I'd say they give the best wet weather grip of ANY tyre I've tried in 13 years of classic ownership. Turn in is very sharp and precise. Can wait to run them in and give them a good workout in the dry.

I've had Sessantas for 10,000 miles, they are very grippy and the safest tyre I've ever had in the wet. Higher running pressures than other tyres make them inclined to roll.

I has Ultrac Cento's before, another excellent tyre, almost as grippy.
