Default Tyreleader - Anyone used them?

Bike tips in better (but a new tyre always feels this way to me compared to old), grip in both wet and dry feels like it'll be very good. I'll update when I get my bike back from the insurance company in a week or two.

I'm fine thanks mate, and by the sounds of it so is the bike

Heard from the insurers yesterday and the assessor is more than confident that the bike is economically repairable. Hope to have it back soon as!

You guys must have some mileage on these tyres now. Any feedback on them?

Done about 1500 miles on them, they've been terrific wet or dry. Feel good and give lots of feedback, only done road miles on them so far but a day at Oulton or Anglesey is on the cards, I think they'll be great on the track.

good to hear positive feedback on them. I managed to do a Michelin Pilot Power 2CT rear in 6.5k (just over wear bars in the centre) so I'm hoping these have a longer life span!

Wear isn't noticeable at 1.5k but it's early days.

My bike comes home today (finally) from the insurance repair shop so I will set about getting some miles on these tyres. It's been two months now so I have some catching up to do.
