    Well after clocking up over 450miles on the new tires im loving them!

    Still playing around with the front tire pressure though, set at 36psi at the shop but when ridden hard with a pillion it did not feel good! Took it to 41psi and ridden solo its too hard, so going to take it down a notch today.

    First time in the wet last night and I had the confidence to ride at my normal pace, even roundabouts (which I still have 'confidence doubting moments' when raining) where no problem.

    All in all so far im really happy with them!

    Big thanks to MotoHause for the advice!!

    The Michelin tyres have different profiles. The sports tyres have a more pointy profile than the sport touring tyres or the racing tyres. That could make the front feel a bit odd...
