Well I have changed the rear after 1200miles, there is still plenty of life left for road riding but not for off road in Winter.Now it has squared off a bit the handling betters the Tourances in the damp, which is all the time at the moment.

Despite saying I would try the TKC I have opted for another MT21 because they are nearly �30 cheaper.

The new one feels excellent from the start so it must have been the front that was giving me the heebie jeebies on tarmac.

Started with 23psi this time and have marked the tyre and rim to see if there is any slippage when I drop the pressure right down.
