   Hello PB,any chance you could measure how much tread you have got left down to the wear indicators on that 14,000 mile front 023 tyre please.

vstroman, probably only about 1mm to the wear bar, back tyre probably about the same after 7,000 miles, both will need changing soon. MOT is due in October so I will get it done before then. Not been out much lately as it's been too hot, can't believe I'm saying that , I live in Wales! lol also I've been busy with Blood bike shifts so plenty of riding anyway. :happydance:

I see the Road 6's come in a GT version for heavier bikes - what does that mean, ie is the 650 a heavier bike and what advantages would a GT tyre bring - longer life?
I'm totally ignorant about tyres and as I'll be needing some new ones before too long this thread is of interest...

The 650 wouldn't be classed as a heavy bike and anyway the GT version of the tyres do not come in vstrom sizes. Fit the normal trail front and either a standard or trail rear. The standard rears tend to last a bit longer but not by much.
