It wasn't until the following day that I received the 'tech sheet' and realised that the tyres I had been given were in fact Pirelli's training tyres. First impressions (after figuring out that they were training tyres) were positive. The ride quality was excellent on the punishing rough-chipped rural roads of Pukekohe, thanks to the 28mm width allowing a lower pressure to be run. Rolling resistance was supreme, and the puncture resistance while riding over broken beer bottles discarded by bogans the previous weekend was pleasantly surprising, mainly because I didn't take any spare tubes with me. Pirelli's tech sheet shows the characteristics of the tyre, along with its intended use.
