haha your very much like myself with the pegs. Yea ive had the pegs down on nearly all the tyres ive had but ive a set of Avons at the moment and there is a bit of fluffyness when lent over and in the wet they really dont seem to stick very well. The fronts semi worn and the rears new but it has been scrubbed in (but maybe not fully for these tyres).
Tourance it will be next time around for me.
