Simon is on a distinguished road
Ok so there's now 1k miles on the tyre now so i would say they are scrubbed in. Still not much off roading to report so this is more related to road riding.

Wear on the tyres is minimal, no obvious signs of the tread depth going down at the mo.

on the roads these tyres like normal pressure (29/29). there isn't a great deal of feed back even once the tyres get warm so you have to feel what the bike is doing as a whole but these seem to be very stiff tyres so that would go someway to explain it.

Grip on the tyres is good, i've only had one moment when hitting white lines on hard acceleration on a bend, but generally these tyres aren't to bothered by white lines and over banding.

on wet or grimey roads they behave themselves pretty well, just have to tone things down a bit as you normally would on any bike in those conditions.

SO far i'm pleased with the road manners, hopefully soon i can get a few more dirty miles on the bike and report back.
