Best tyre for this bike, done in excess of 8k miles on each of my two sets, not even worth entertaining anything else for my FlyingBrick.

Comment:
This tyre has worn very quickly, far quicker than any other Macadam 50 I've had before, and they are expensive for everyday commuting.

Had this tyre type from new (4 sets) but they seem to have altered the compound now, and not for the better in my opinion.
