Tyres

[Kwikasfuki]

I'll be glad to see the back of those continental road attack II. Today in dry weather I felt the back squirming for a grip.

The PR3s are on. Early days yet but feel very sturdy and grip well. 42psi on both tyres. I'm hoping the carcas in the middle will grip better than the PR2s. In cold weather, the PR2 grip wasn't as good as in warm weather.

Do modern tyres really require scrubbing in? I've just got on and ridden like normal.

the reason for scrubbing in is because of the release agent they use to get the tyres out of the moulds......however with new tyres and better grip you might well find they feel good straight away....be careful on wet/damp roads with new tyres...thats where the release agent gets slippy and tyres lose grip ::)

My PR3's are now at 2500 miles and seem to be wearing well.
They are starting to wear a bit square but my PR2's did the same.
It's because 99% of my riding at the moment is on Duals & Motorways. :-(

If this weather holds up I may get a chance to go "round" them off at the weekend, SWMBO permitting!  ;D
