FINAL COMMENTS ON TYRES PERFORMANCE: Was very pleased with them on road, ok-ish off but I did mostly fire roads and not very demanding terrain. No mud action tho. Ok-ish on sandy terrain. Changed with somewhere between 1mm or 2mm left on the back but the back was starting to skid a lot on braking on tarmac. Front looked like 50%. They were pretty squared off, although i do ride twisties quite hard, motorway use ( sometimes with pillion ) squared them pretty much. Funky feeling after they got squared when leaning the bike, seemed to want to fall after some leaning. Got a bit weird too when applying throttle when lean. Switched for the moment to Heidenau K60 or Mefo Explorers depending where you live due to colder / rainy weather coming.
