FINAL COMMENTS ON TYRES PERFORMANCE: Skinny profile makes the tyres agile but a bit wimpy looking (especially on the rear). Grip is excellent due to dual compontd in both dry and wet however and whitelining is fairly minimal. Hard compound in the centre seems to offer average life however with the sides offering increaced grip (and presumably less life but don't get to test that much on the motorway).
Front BT45 has now done 14k miles and still has 2-3mm tread left but as starting to show signs of scalloping/feathering so may be replaced soon.

For straight road riding I would highly recommend these. Excellent handling, stability and confidence both wet and dry due to silicon and dual compound design.
