tis what ive got .. holds me on the sloped mud lane near my house (thats "unsuitable for motorvehicles" i put that to the test:D) even in the wet, and grips me to the road just fine :) pretty free rolling with the clutch in too, was quite surprised tbh lol
are TW301 and TW302 the standard tyres?
whats the legal wear on the tyres?

vee rubbers are good tyres! they are like exact copies of michelins..

also bridgestone trailwings are awesome tyres on the road.. Going from knobblies to trailwings was hell of a difference..

I've them tires on my bike,i think there ok for green laning  but i'm not overly impressed with them going through trails in the trees & dampish muck...i couldn't get back up a smallish slope and had to struggle getting the bugger across ditches(never again with these tyres)

Very good on the road in wet or dry conditions and i hammer it on the road every Sunday with the big boy biker dudes.

Personaly i'm looking for maybe  Michelin AC10 tyres in the future
here's a very good site on tyres & explanation on performance etc...
