I have these on mine.  They are very stiff and handle the road well.
Performance in the rain and snow is average I guess.  They have worn well
after about 10k miles; no cupping or uneven wear or anything.  And, most
importantly, they look cool.

BUT-

They are loud, loud, loud, noisy.  I swear they double the road noise.  And
they seem to be getting louder as they wear.  It's like riding in a jeep.
It's not as bad with the windows up obviously, but it is LOUD with the
windows down.

Somebody on the list warned me of this before I bought them, and I shrugged
off what I now know to be good advice.  If you don't mind the extra noise,
then they're excellent.
