I'm slowly but surely becoming suitably impressed the the Power Pures but they are definitely no touring tyre, that said they are wearing evenly and resisting flat spotting like I hoped they would, the front is holding it's shape very well too. I have to take it with a grain of salt at the moment though as this is the first new set of tires to go on since the suspension upgrade and it'll be more obvious what going on if I run different tires next time.

Yep, PR2's FTW! I also felt that the rear was moving around a bit on me - particularly on dodgier roads (funny that). It was a little like not quite getting the pressure's right - I think a higher in the rear may have helped. I have no complaints about the front Angel (must check it's wear too) and both were good in the wet.

Probably only 2km but they are working on the road and a big flash sign warns of 30 minute delays. We were there at about 5:30ish and although they were still farting about we went straight around the detour with no hold-ups except for photos.
