Put some new tyres on the bike today, The 1st since I bought the bike last October and its like a completely different bike, i cant believe the improvement, The tyres that came off still had a fair bit of tread on them to be fair so i was quite surprised the difference they made.

The ones that came off were Bridge stones & i put Pilot Road 3's on.

There are few feelings better than new rubber, its the grip and lovely rounded profile that make it all better. Although the way they tip in so much quicker than old tyres can take some getting used to.

That and new chain and sprockets.
The ride is so much smoother than the tight links running over worn sprockets I had to endure for the last few hundred miles.

I only got mine replaced about a thousand miles ago (Chain + Sprockets) and I miss the feeling already
