Rear tyre near legal limit = bike not turning at slow speed?

[Buzz]

Cheers guys...I've just properly checked the rear tyre now I'm home and can see the top of the rear is pretty much flat.  I had no idea the handling would be so terrible at low speeds, truly scared the pants off me when I was drifting  outwards uncontrollably towards a National Express coach  :eek .


I'll get a new one fitted on Monday methinks.  I need to get a foot pump and pressure gauge as well....oh the joys and expenses of being a bike owner!


The front is pretty good but I've read that things could get unbalanced if 2 different makes of tyres are used together..True-say or bollox?  I don't really want to spend an extra £100 if I don't have to.


Thanks for the comments...Buzz
