Hi all.
I am looking to change from Tourance to these tyres. Does anyone have them?

Just got a pair and will be fitting next weekend (replacing 4000 mile Tourances that have become awful on white lines/undulations). They look good, appear nicely moulded and the rubber feels sticky (they'll be crap off piste though), but we'll see... I'll report back when I've scrubbed them in.

Ok.Thank u..Please make a feed back!

Well, I�ve had them on the bike for a month now and done about 400 miles (650Km) and initial thoughts are excellent.

As you�d expect, being road biased the grip and handling have improved massively. The flighty front end has gone, lean angles have improved, but most noticeable is how neutral the tyres are. Every movement is smooth and progressive with good levels of feedback, including the braking. They are superb in the dry and far better than the Tourances ever were in the wet (which it has mostly been recently) and on surface undulations/white lines (always the Tourance�s weak point in my eyes). Also better than BT45s on the road based on previous experience.

I didn�t think they�d be much good off road, but even there I�ve been a little surprised! Yes, they are useless in anything slightly muddy and wet, however on gravel and un-surfaced forestry tracks they are not better or worse than the Tourance. I�d conclude that much of the knobbly appearance of the Tourance is in order to look the part, neither this or the TR91 has any self-cleaning ability, the TR91 just doesn�t look as manly! But the price you pay for knobbly looks is poorer road manners.

All in all I�d say the TR91 appears to be superb choice for someone who wants to push their bike on the road and maybe do some light off-roading on forestry tracks and such like in the dry(!) summer months. The Tourance isn�t a bad tyre I might add, it�s just way more compromised. Personally I�d either go for a TR91 or a TKC depending on use, I wouldn�t bother with an in-betweeny tyre again, but each to their own�

(Obviously can�t comment on wear yet!)

Hope this helps?

Can we have a picture please?

I thank you.

Yep - very roadie.. Quite happy with the Tourances or I'd go Army Specials if more off road beckoned..

Cheers GULG, saved me the bother of posting a pic!

Don't dismiss it on looks alone, be wary of judging tyres by their appearance, tyre companies invest a lot in the cosmetics of their tread designs. Honestly these are as good as the Tourance off road and much better on - they just don't look it! Never judge a book by it's cover...

If you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay for them? I was looking for them but was put off by the higher (comparable) cost so went for Pirelli Scorpion Trails. Pirelli's road biased tyre.

Handily I got them for nothing, because I know a man who can! nudge nudge

They do seem a bit more expensive than others, but they are a relatively "new" tyre and manufacturers always sell their latest rubber wholesale for a premium and tyre dealers have to make their cut. Wait another 6 months and they'll come down from �180 a pair to a more reasonable �150ish I'd guess, it normally works that way.
