Need new tyres?

[Ribenapigeon]

I've done k11.5 miles on these tyres. I'm finding the bike feels a bit squirmy when leaning over. This only seems to be on wet roads though, on dry roads the bike feels much steadier. Tread depth is a few mil's and I can see the band of different tyre compound at the centre line of the tyre and it looks a bit square. The swing arm is fine and there's no play in the wheel bearings.

Cheers.

To be legal there should be at least 1mm of tread depth continuously across 75% or 3/4 of the tyre with visible tread for the remaining 1/4.

So if you have 'a few mm' left you have 1mm of useable tread personally unless I am short of cash I replace tyres at 2mm.

That squirmy feeling can often just be the result of a squared rear when it moves from the flat middle section. It's why a bike often feels completely different tipping into corners with new tyres. Also, checked the pressures properly (not service station air line) lately?

Post some pics of it.

It actually feels worse with higher air pressure in.
I would post a pic but don't know how. Not much to see really on a pic.

If the tyres are effecting handling then you know what you need to do.

They aren't going to magically grow tread over night. Silly old bastard.

Well it's insurance this month. Tyres will have to wait till next month.
