As the thread title. Had new front and back tyres fitted on the bike today, and I know that I need to go easy on them for a while (which shouldn't be too tricky, as I'm still managing to corner while upright...!)

What sort of mileage do I need to get on them before I stop gripping the seat into a ridge with my arse? I'm still very much relearning everything, as I passed my test last July, but didn't get the bike until about a month ago.

I'd have asked in the shop, but they weren't very friendly, and they certainly won't be getting any future custom from me.

Cheers.

At the speeds I'll be doing? Oh yes, always within the limit...

ANd I hate riding on motorways. Still, maybe needs must.
