Re: Tyres suitable for all usage?
The PR2s are amazing in that there's absolutely nothing to them. Cig-paper thick under the treads lol. No wonder people find them a bit better with more air in.
Can't knock the wear life, I think it was baphs I took off at something like 11k. Edit: I could be on about a completely different tyre!

We're running 32 35, as recommended by Michelin for our bike.

Re: Tyres suitable for all usage?
I have Pilot Road 2s on mine and commute in regularly from south-east London. They're a fine tyre for this, though Fizz once commented that he found them a bit "wooden" when cold & I would have to agree. The grip is there, but it doesn't feel like it at first.
Lots of people rave about the Avon Storms in the tyres section, so they must be worthy of consideration. They'll be the ones I try next on my SV.
