What a difference!
I had a Continental Contimotion on there before, fitted by the previous owner, that had done about 1500 miles.
The front is now smoother, does not wobble at every ripple in the road and, more importantly, I have so much more confidence in the front end. Tip the bike in to the corner and it just grips and grips and grips! (Don't worry, Im old enough not to be over confident with it!)
Just need to save some pennies up to replace the square rear!
A lot of it is to do with simply being a new tyre as well, it will always feel much better when the proper shape.
But it really does make a huge difference to have confidence in tyres though, I have a BT023 on the front and a T30 on the rear and I can't fault them at all either.
