Have installed a set of these tires last year and put a few thousand miles on them commuting and longer distance riding, they have plenty of grip, excellent cornering feel. I put the GT version on my Ducati ST, they are very stable at speed and on rough roads. Only complaint is the rear can lock up with hard braking if it is not warmed up, but the harder center rear compound is probably good for tread life as I see no sign of wear. Huge improvement over original BT020 in wear and handling.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I replaced the original BT020s on my Ducati with the BT023(GT)s. The price for both was less than $250, and the traction and handling are definitely better than the worn tires they replaced! Cornering is great, these seem to allow for a greater lean angle. Braking in the wet also seemed superior. I'm hoping the tread life, especially on the rear could be better due to the dual compound. BT020 front lasted 10k miles, rear only 5k on this bike, only have a few hundred on now on the BT023s so unable to comment on tread life yet.
Rides: 2007 Ducati ST3
Yes, I recommend this product.
