Tucking feeling

No reason IMO to go for some super sporty tyres. I moved from Metlzer Racetecs to Pilot Road 3s on my ZX7r and immediately within about 30 seconds of setting off on the new tyres felt 1000 times more confident on them.

Hope you get the issues sorted, love the Tuonos. :-)

Yes, as far and I'm concerned, Pilot Road 3 or 4 is the answer to every on-road tyre question.

OP, your back tyre is very squared off, infact I'd say it is around the minimum tread depth now in the centre. That can make you feel uncomfortable. The advice is of course to change to Pilot Roads next time since it is a dual compound tyre and the centre doesn't wear as fast.

Also remember roundabouts often have adverse camber, grease and light diesel coatings. It may just be the roundabout.

I think you're right, I think I was being a bit naive in thinking the tyres were fairly new, I was judging mainly on the mid-outside tread depth as they don't have much tread in the centres. I've just measured the centre and it's only just over 1mm.

I've only done around 900 miles on this bike, and only use it for fun so it never sits in a straight line for miles on end. New set of tyres and it may feel like a completely different bike to what I have been riding!
