FINAL COMMENTS ON TYRES PERFORMANCE:
Initial impression: Exclusively a road tyre. Almost no road buzz, probably due to tread pattern. Behaves well in wet conditions.
Scrubbed in: Took a while to get the pressures (exactly) right. Rubber compound is a little harder, less sticky than the trailmax, but hopefully more hard wearing, still good once warmed up.

Intermediate impressions: Handles well, I can throw it into corners and expect to come out the other end.

Final Impressions: Squarer than a square thing on St Spongebob's day by the time I hit 9000miles, with attendant handling problems in corners and on overbanding. No punctures or other issues, just completely worn out.
