FINAL COMMENTS ON TYRES PERFORMANCE: The rear tyre still had about 3-4mm tread left, but it was quite square and as the bike was in for service and we're heading for another sketchy winter I thought I'd get a new Tourance fitted – ride home was far more stable than the ride in, especially at slow speeds. Front was still OK. Will change in the new year. Edit: Changed front at 7,900 miles and it was on the limit markers – surprised just how quickly it wore out the last few mm. Was expecting to get nearer 9,000 miles from it. Front also replaced with fresh Tourance. Might try different tyre next time, maybe k60s
