A bit of Anakee Wild follow up...

2 effects at play here I believe, 1) the tyres have finally settled in, completed their run in period, scrubbing, heat cycles, whatever 2) I'm getting used to the way these knobbies handle in contrast to the excellent Anakee lll

I really thought I'd "ruined" everything by fitting the Wilds, but happy to report, after about 200 miles of mixed wet/dry road and a few miles of rocky/boggy/gravelly off road, all is well.

Decent grip on the road, mushy feeling powering out of the turns, as you'd expect, and occasionally they'll step out, not too dramatically. Weirdest thing was over coming the turn in feel, don't know if there is more mass in these tyres, but there is an increased gyroscopic effect, like the wheel resists turning, then flops in .. alomst feels like the rear slid out. Once you get used to it, it makes for a fun time on the road. Next thing is how long they last.

Off road....on the hard slatey/rocky steps on some of the local trials, can't say they're much better than the llls, but the front is much better in the deeper gravel. The wet and boggy sections are now a joy, tractor along 2nd gear slipping the clutch, front holding the line, rear barely spinning, find grip and traction everywhere. It's nice!

With my limited experience of knobbies, I'd say recommended
