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.

Well done , Lets be having a photo of them on the bike. You can light the back up like you said but it is predictable and great fun. You will have loads of fun off roading with them I guarantee it
