Change of tyre manufacturer, more cornering confidence?

[Dead Eye]

Because I do so few miles per year every time I change I have skipped about 3 generations of "tec" and never notice a difference

I wonder if that could be why though?

Certain things take a lot of experience with before you can identify the subtleties and begin to compare. Just a random example off the top of my head is the ability to tune a guitar by ear. I have a guitar, but like fuck can I do that because I really don't use it very often.

Then again, maybe the same can be said for whether you use the tyres to their full potential. As the guy in the video stated, most of the tyres you can't tell a difference until you start leaning on them more and become more familiar with their "character"

No offence intended and you may well be perfectly correct, I'm just putting some thoughts out there and I like trying to find and explore counter-points
