Removed wheels & took with new pair Michelin PR3s to tyrefitter. Returned home with new tyres/valves fitted & reinstalled wheels in bike. Today is first opportunity to ride-think they promised some sunshine later for the Midlands but not looking too promising so far. Rain forecast for tomorrow.
Will definitely take things steady for first 100 miles as have always done with every new set of tyres.
The replaced tyres were Conti Attack & although road legal the back was squared off as previous owner had commuted on bike-they had done 8000 miles since he fitted in 2014. Me?.....Im sticking with the Michelin PR3s as had on previous 600 and the road holding/feedback was remarkable especially in the wet!
Tyres have definitely improved since I started riding all those years ago :lol
