I have had these tyres from new and they have plenty of life in them even after 3500 miles so dont really want to start swapping them.
It the only factor stopping me from booking something that is all.
Thanks in advance.

Let me quote from the Book of the Squid.
"In these times, there are not really any bad tyres, they are all good.
Some, however, are better than others.
I would not replace a set of BT220's with another pair, but neither would I throw away a pair with life in them just to replace."
And now from the Tablets of Soulkiss
"If you dont trust the BT220's then you will doubt them, and your ability. If this is the case, change them. Think of the film "Days of Thunder" when the driver is able to drive better due to "special, matched tyres" which were nothing of the sort, but because he thought the car was more capable, he was able to push it more."
Personally I ran BT220's until I needed to change them at about 7k, then went over to Pilot Road 2's
