Ummm dilema time then, i am glad the 020 combination works, my problem is i ride a little hard, weigh a little too much, and spin the rear for fun.
6000 miles sounds good, and to be honest i dont think i will get much feed back from a bike that weighs so much to start with. On these tyres i have never had a scare yet, i have felt the front push slightly, and the rear spins, but nothing all of a sudden like.
I guess i am one of those people that want the perfect tyre that lasts forever, gives 100% feedback, grips in all conditions, and costs sweet FA. Ummm gotta keep looking.
thanks for the update guys its appreciated!
