On dry weather it's alright. On wet weather is shit. About 7000km in the rear slips alot even when im going slow thru corner about 40km/h - 50km/h. Tire lasted about 9500km before it needs to be changed. Ride feels harder then other tires. Felt every small bumps and going thru humps can be quite harsh.

What drivers say about their 145/70 R14 tires
The most recent owner reviews fitted in this size, in their own words.
Been plagued by punctures. They are so soft that a small staple used for paper punctured the tire. The rear tire has been punctured 7 times now and all by very thin bendable wire, less that 2mm thick. Will be going for a stronger option now.
Dry grip and feel are much better than the Michelin City Grip. Those were terrible wooden feeling tires.
The Battlax are nice tires but the rears only last about 3000 miles on the Xmax 300. I’ve had one last 2600 actually which is less than a summer of ridding. Pretty annoying. I wish they would last about 4000 so I could just get one a year.
