Hi All,

just got back from 4.5k around Ireland and Britain. As mentioned above the grip of these is just incredible. Especially in the wet. I have never backed off so little. Very stable and feeling very firm on the move. A lot of bumps get through to the suspension which i had firmed up a bit to allow for the luggage. The rear is nearly scrap but the front is fine. A bit dissapointing but I guess this is the price you pay for the grip.
As we never had any intention of going off road this was the perfect tire for the purpose. I will put another one on to use up the front tyre. One drawback is that the rear is left with 10mm chickenstrips while the front is used right to the edge.
