Well the new tyres are now fitted, no drama apart from breaking the bead on the existing tyres (Heidenau K60's) - My usual technique is to just stand on the tyre and bounce up and down to break it, didn't work this time though and had to resort to a couple of G clamps!
Had a quick run out with the Swiss Army tyres fitted, must say first impressions are that they are better on the road than I expected them to be, sure there was the usual 'falling off a cliff' feeling when cornering but I expected that, and it's pretty easy to light up the rear if you aren't careful with the throttle, but again that was expected. In three weeks time I am playing with the TRF in a large off road centre near Bradford, that should prove fun and will give me an idea as to what the tyres are like in the dirt.
