The next replacement of tyres will be with a completely different manufacturer as I am unhappy with the way these tyres feel and perform compared to the 020.

I'm not sure if it's always the case but my local mechanic reckons there are often differences in compounds for tyres with the same names but supplied to different parts of the world. It would make sense if you think that our 'high' temperatures are around 25 degrees but parts of the U.S and Oz often have much more extreme air and therefore road temperatures. Personally I can't get on with the 020s as they seem to slip around too easily. Any recommendations from UK riders would be much appreciated.
