The RS2's have now done 8,000 miles. In the centre of the tyre, the front is still at 0.5 mm to the TWI and the rear is now down to 1.5 mm to the TWI.

When out today, occasionally, the front end didn't feel quite right. Time to get some new ones fitted.

The RS2's have now done 5,650 miles. In the centre of the tyre, the front & rear are both down to 1.0 mm to the TWI.

Occasionally, the front end doesn't feel quite right. Time to get some new tyres.

Off to Aviemore tomorrow, have previously been caught out with the aggressive tyre wear on Scottish roads.
