For the last few weeks cornering has been a bit skittish.
The rear Tourance is new but the front was getting on a bit but still legal.
On Wednesday this week I replaced the front with a new Tourance (£76.66 ride in/out from Micheldever) and took the pretty route home to try and get it scrubbed in ... but the roads were quite wet and according to the notice in Micheldever tyres, wet miles don't count as part of the 100 mile(ish) scrubbing in period... I never knew that.:(
Today I got some miles on it in the dry... now they are scrubbed in it feels like a new bike... I shouldn't have been such a tight git and replaced it earlier.
 
I feel the same, went to Spain on Trailwings, changed them to Tourances after getting home - different bike altogether. Roll on next summer, now I know...
