Tourance Next

The front tyre has no unused rubber left , the rear shows about 3mm of unused ( the edges) only done 300 miles so far.

That's really interesting to hear, mine (same tyre) are completely the opposite! The wear on the rear tyre is noticeably closer to the edges than the front tyre. Is this just down to riding style or something in the bike's geometry? Looking at the edges of my front tyre I reckon I'd need to be over 45 degrees to have rubbed off the chicken strips completely!

pressures maybe? - a lower inflation pressure allowing a larger contact patch?

Perfect pressures as per recommendations.
Pic one shows front tyres , the TA3 approx. 112mm wide / 2nd pic the Tourance 120mm wide / 3rd pic wear
The tourance has a more rounded profile so reaches the edges , the TA3 not so as steeper .
If you like a front that drops and turns the TA3 is perfect , its sister the RA3 is as the tourance a shallow / rounded profile which turns slower than the TA3

Looks like the front wheel was 10 grams out on the weights so will now get rebalanced at the shop and try again as like the tyres but without the wobble.
