...a point to note
hi guys
just a short note..
a lot of the time we just dont have the choice to do anything but run our tyres for this amount of mileage...as we are in parts of the world where it's downright impossible to get any tyres of our size.
however, we did make a deliberate choice of using the TKC80's when we left the UK originally as we had tried and tested many 50/50's in the years prior.
dont ask me what they were now - its too long ago! maybe Simon would remember....
so - as we have to be careful with our tyres as we are not usually spoilt for choice- our hard and fast rule is 'never open up too fast or aggressively when pulling away from a standstill'. as this is what 'eats them'. ...and when you deflate for off-road make sure that you re-inflate immediately when you hit tarmac! dont do those last few tarmac miles on a low psi...!
I'm not sure what exactly makes the difference re our high mileage...but it does seem that we are able to get a lot more miles than our friends riding the TKC's..I m not sure if that is because we are doing a number of things differently or just one..?
its interesting though!
