    No Mike I have not ridden one, nor do I know somebody in person who has, so I have only this contra from an old board posting.

    I feel confident with the amount of speed I have applied while in twisties, in several states, and in different road conditions to say that I never have encountered a loss of traction.

    I would certainly not want to ride a tire that manifests those issues, so now 12-13K miles into this tire use, all I can state is the tire is not losing road traction for me.

    And maybe I'm not that type of aggressive rider who applies that much torque in turns causing the rear to spin out, and have been riding wrong for the past 52 years

    Yea Right...I know you Max LOL
    I have never had a darkside tire break traction unless I wanted it to, but then I never twist up the wick.......damn now my nose is getting longer.

    Max, when its time to replace the rear would you go with the same tire or would venture to another.
