Got a pair of Michelin Road 5 and an MOT put on her. This is the first bike I've kept long enough to have new tyres put on, felt quite twitchy on the way home to the point where I was shitting it a little. Thinking it may be a combination of a new tyre profile vs worn and needing scrubbing in; I've never scrubbed in new tyres on a bike before, read a few differing things about scrubbing in new tyres, some say it's temperature related and a motorway run will sort, others are more like gradually increasing lean angles and so on which might be a bit difficult without pre planning a route and timing. Any opinions would be appreciated.
It will be OK in the end. If it's not OK, it's not the end.
