I just phoned Gywn up at Trellborg and asked him for some advice, my army special has done 1500 miles and has 9-8mm tread depth in the middle (started with 13mm) I told him that I would be riding to France and doing about 800 miles off road plus the travel down to Portsmouth and return from Folkstone (120miles to Portsmouth 220 miles from Folkstone) so about another 1200 miles minimum including riding back to Calais from Lille. My question was will I need another tyre before I go or would this one last OK,
I am thinking that most companies would have said change the tyre to get more business, no not Gywn he asked what bike it was fitted to then said that it would be fine and I would not need to buy a new one has they get better has they wear.
Would I recommend them and his business.........................YOU BET I WOULD
