    Don't know about anyone else here , but I love that new tire feeling just after they've been scrubbed in..

    Got new rubber 2 weeks back and have been trying to scrape the foot pegs on roundabouts ever since :D

    It's amazing how cocky you get.. I've had to back it off a few times before I end up in a situation I regret.

    Damn Tire Courage.. :)

    I'm the opposite at the moment. had 2 skids in 2 days on wet surfaces there a few weeks ago. I'm taking corners like pluto orbits the sun at the moment.

    Was the same scrubbing in, back end had a mind of its own in the wet, hate having to feel out the tire grip when scrubbing tires..

    Love the feeling of new good tire's and the confidence they give you. Best feeling I had was getting my first pair of comp k's after having crap rubber for ages, throwing it into the first roundabout and getting the knee down, big scuff on the good jeans, but worth it.
    Had the best summer acting the maggot, wore them down to the canvas in 3 months and for the only time ever the front and back wore out at the same time:D

    Just got a new pair of Bt023s fitted today. Some difference . Had a road smart front and Avon storm rear. Both were past it. Delighted with the new set.
