The bike passed its MOT today with advisory i.e Worn rear tyre. I knew it was squaring off but it is almost down to the wear indicators. It is a Continental roadattack 3 put on the bike 3 years ago and has only done 4,500 miles on mostly main and town roads. The front is a continental too and was on the bike when I bought it 12,000 miles ago and doesn't need changing. I won't be putting another Continental on the bike and am soliciting suggestions. Cost is not a big issue as long as it is not over £100.

I don't hoon the bike so the tyre needn't be overly sporty.
