I actually have a set of 005s on right now. The old tires were whipped when I bought the bike and seller included these with it. I didnt feel like buying different ones so I mounted them. Ended up doing a fair bit of 2up touring with them this summer and they held up well. After about 5000Kms the front has not developed the notorious "Cupping" that most tires get on our roads and the rear has not flat spotted in the center. I've got them worn pretty much to the edge without much drama from them. I've never priced them but I understand they're pretty cheap. Popular with the drag racers around here. Not a bad tire for the price I guess.
