I'm rapidly approaching 4000 miles on the stock tyres and I'll be surprised if they make it much further than that with enough tread.
The front maybe has more life but even though I replaced the rear after 100 miles due to a puncture, it's now certainly in its twilight.
There are several posts about more dirt biased tyre options but I've not seen much about fitting some road specific sport or sport touring tyres.
Has anyone done it? I'd love to see some photos because I worry that the bike will lose a lot of it's presence without the chunky looking MT-60's.
I know you can get the Michelin PR3's in our size, which is what I'd go for if I made the switch.
Honestly though, the MT-60's have done well. Grippy enough in road and gravel, they haven't squared too badly and they really do look the part.
