I agree... war is abominable . But we need to recognise the sacrifices of those who gave up everything to give us what we have today. My family’s history is no more than any others but I am honoured that my ancestors fought against injustice and tyranny. This was a despicable war that I hope is never repeated.

Steve Reid - hence the phrase, lest we forget. Dont let it be a mantra. Conjure up all the horror, n drill it in to you brain. Ive seen 2 great grandfathers names etched in stone at war memorials. But the graphic horror that depicts isn't present there. Now we know the grizzly facts, and hopefully know better. Lest we forget, and we do honor them.

Noise disturbance is really quite low for an aggressive mixed terrain tyre. Obviously if you don't look after them by rotating regularly, keeping your alignment right and making sure your pressures are set to the correct level for what you do , then they could get noisy. I have done 32,000 kms on mine so far and still really good. Still have just on 11mm tread depth so mileage will be good too.
