Update on the slippery tires.

I have about 400 miles on the tires now since I've installed them, and just finally got a chance to start seeing how they will handle in the corners. They are gripping much better than they were in the first 200 miles. They still don't feel as grippy as the metzlers, but I was expecting that anyways. However I'm still able to lean the bike over to the point where I'm almost scraping my boots on the pavement, so it's all good.
