Another first for me

There's no visible cracks or anything in the photo's though.
They just may not be that good in the wet, compared to later tyres?

I have very little riding experience and don't know what to expect from tyres or what result any changes would make.  I have read that tyres over 4 years old are probably a bit old and wondered if, in that case, 12 year old tyres would be as hard as an old school eraser.

The tyres are in good condition with micro fractures in the tyre but no substantial wear and tear.

I was considering getting some BT23's or Roadpilot 3's.  I'll send Bigsteve a message to ask if he can help inform as we talked about it at the Birm meet a while back.

You said you run a mixed pair, please can you spill the beans on your combo ?

Cheers
