I have had big, as in full opposite lock, rear slides occur in 3rd gear three times, and too many smaller slides to count. I have had the front wash out and need dabbing to stop the bike from going over three times, even at sub 20mph speeds. The back will spin up without any provocation if the road is wet and I would not recommend them to anyone.
I've also had the tread on the rear crack and begin to lift, and the front is cracking as well.
If I could burn them to stop someone using them I would.
