I've been using the V6 tires for the past few weeks, they are a definite improvement over the V5's. I've been running V6 front 20's and 25's. About the same grip levels as the corresponding V5's, but last much longer. Subjectively they feel like they have a smoother steering response.

Also I can run the V6's larger, with V5's I had to run the 20's at 22.0mm or below to prevent traction rolling. With the V6's I've been starting at 22.5mm and no rolling.

The only disadvantage is they take a little longer to break in, but the better life is well worth it.

Thanks Art. Definitely gonna try them.. btw, I ran V5F15 @23.0mm without rolling problems (big track, soft springs, 39-50T)

Have you tried sanding them (high grit) after truing? It reduces break-in time practically to zero.
