Hongman , you worry too much
. I monged my first tyre on the Pointy , it was a Metzeler Z something or other and it was bo11oxed after 1100 miles ....... Nowadays I can give Avon Storms some serious abuse and still get into the 5k area . The right tyre for the bike can make it handle better and still get good mileage , that Metzeler was chewed to death and the bike handled like a Suicidal Supermarket Shopping Trolley .
