I had a set of Elite 4s installed just before I left for Washington D.C. for Rolling Thunder. Heavy rain and windy on the interstate in PA, and grooved pavement, metal grates and tar snakes didn't bother the ride at all. So far these are the best tires I have had on any bike I have owned. I am happy with my purchase. Hopefully the mileage claims as advertised are realistic. I run 40 cold psi front and rear.
