Welcome Manxman! Glad you made it to the site. I'd say your tires are just fine. Your suspension settings would have to be looked at. Are they set to Factory Specs? If someone had the bike prior to you they may have changed some settings. At 142 lbs, I'd say your on the "lighter" side of the spectrum (God Bless You), so if the settings had been changed for someone heavier than you, they may need to be backed off a bit. Are you worried about a harsher ride or being able to soak up the bumps??
