A thread on the T595 forum talks of uneaven wear patterns on the front tyre and rapid wear on the front, reversing the normal two rears to one front pattern. I punctured the rear on my Sprint ST so didn't manage that but was finding that the front was wearing fast.

i like my 020's they'll let go if your being a **** on them but i can feel what's going on through em which i really dig about them might try a set of conti's next for something completely different.

Just got some BT021 on my bike yesterday and have just about run them in after the run to Poole last night they do feel very nice compared to the original Dunlops. Looking forward to pushing them a bit more tonight on the way to Loomies. Think they are going to be a great tyre.

They feel very nice but the last pair of tyers were the originals the bike had done nearly 7k on them so anything would be better I guess. Price was £188 but it was from a good garage who all my frieds use so I thought it was an ok price.

Same as mine, i have the standard dunlops on at the moment and have done about 6.5k so due for renewal soon.

£188 seems goods, pro tyre quoted me about 250 for a pair i think.

That sounds a bit steep. I find the info of the man here not that far from you and toy could have a nice easy run back though the forest to run the tyres in on the way back :) M Cox.Unit 7-8 Shakespear Business Centre,
