New Tires always make the bike feel like brand new again and the old set while it still had quite a bit of rubber left on it was not very good for riding. The front was very cupped and had a small flat area in the middle and the sides dropped off sharply. So when it was tipped into the corner it more or less fell in and had to be held so it would not go too far.
