I currently have one of the Elite tires on the front of my GT, not sure if this will make sense, but compared to the stock Avon, I find that you have to push a little harder in a fast corner to get the front to do what you want, and it seems to be slower to react going into a fast corner one way and then transitioning back to the other direction, like in a S turn,. I figured maybe it just needed time to work in, but after about 1000km, this thing is horrible for this bike, I'm not saying it is a bad tire, just not the best choice for this bike. that's coming off and we will try the Road 6 backwards and see how that goes. I found that the Avon was able to get into a quick turn with less effort and do it quicker. I rode my kids SV with the Road 5's on it and it was a blast and rode great, so hopefully it works well on this bike with the Excedra Max on the back.
