Some shots of the tyres fitted.. (only been on for 25km)

Mick was telling me that Shinko purchased the moulds from another manufacturer (Michelin or Pirelli... can't remember) so the tread pattern may be familiar to some of you. The front is rounded, but like I said - so was the M1 and I really can't feel any difference regarding turn-in (only done 25km on them though). I'll keep you posted as I get more miles on them.
Simmo... 11,000 out of the M1's was not meant to happen. I've been so busy with work lately I just hadn't gotten around to it. The M1's were absolutely shagged - as in almost zero tread depth. The sticky compound was still working, but I'd never have ridden them in the wet. Should have changed them at 9,000.
Mick from Whites Racing changed them at his place on Saturday afternoon with 15 minutes notice (I happened to be close by and he was happy to do them on the spot). Now that's service! They also sell boots, helmets, gloves etc at prices even MCA would have trouble matching. They also do other brands of tyres. If you've never used them, I recommend you give Whites a try.
