Thats the kind of thing I'm wanting to hear-sounds like the thinner tyre, less aggressive tread will work to my advantage.

Interesting point re the seating position- issue is that the bike has gripshift gears so I'd need new shifter mechs for the handle bars if changing them. May be worth considering in the longer term.
Thanks for the info re tyres and thoughts on handlebars!
