Just let me know if you have the same feel due to the tyre pattern.

Thanks in advance.
The Dunlop 606's I fitted on mine felt a bit like that too. but with a few K's on them you get used to them & I found that pushing down slightly on the foot peg helped a lot when cornering with off road tyres on the tar.
