Pleiades is on a distinguished road
I've noticed that with every new pair of tyres I fit to the XTZ I get the same "falling over" feeling you describe. Some are worse than others, noticeably TKCs, but it always subsides and is almost gone by 300 miles. It might be just a case of getting used to fresh tyres, but I have a sneaky suspicion that it's the rear squaring off a little that stops the feeling.

Do you get wobble when crossing white lines or cats eyes?



Wait till the roads are wet, then you'll really hate them.

+1 Totally agree with the above. I experienced exactly the same. Tried 6 different brands on the Ten over the years and the Tourance were/are the least suited to the bike IMO, which is bizarre as they are OE fitment.
