On the Road Again!

Called in at FWR near the Oval to get a new tyre. I decided to stick with Maxxis to keep the matching pair. The front is only about 4000 miles old and so they might wear out together this time. The one that came off was worn out and almost slick in the centre, but the sides were still pretty meaty. When I checked the figures I managed to get 9005 from it. The one before only managed 8235. The new one looks just as meaty!!

Fitted earlier today at FWR Tyres in Kennington at about 5pm. The mileage on the odometer is 73241 miles. The worn one that came off went on at 60825.  A mileage of 12416. Pictured after I got home with 62 miles on it....

Maxxis Detour The new rear. I opted for another Maxxis.

I needed new tyres for the GS and thought I'd try a budget option. It's not like I corner as if I was Valentino Rossi and so was prepared to give up a bit of ultimate grip afforded by the Bridgestone BT020/021 combination that were almost worn out. So, I opted for Maxxis Presa Detour tyres this time. As you can see, the rear comes with a lot of tread, at least it looks deep! he front not quite as deep but still using the same pattern. Let's see how they perform and how long they last. Maxxis Presa Detour rear , originally uploaded by Invicta Moto . Nice and meaty... fitted at 60825 miles.
