    Weird thing is it's not down to the wear bars but the gauge says 1 mm when I checked.

    If you look at the top of the photo, there are grooves with wear bars.

    Hey, its had an amazing turn. Surprising longevity.
    Time to get some steering precision back with a rounded tyre.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    The first set of tyres I fitted to the R1 were the Rosso Corsa. The rear barely made it to 5,000 kms. Great grip on dry roads and just OK when it rained.

    I am tempted to fit a set of Michelin Power 6 next, but the front is only half worn and has kept its profile well.

    Surprising the difference just a new rear has made. It feels absolutely neutral again - leans easily but easy to hold where you want it.

    I'll watch the front for any sign of flattening of the right shoulder but it looks fine at the moment.
