Bike test, tyre swap: 32mm Goodyear Eagle F1 Race tubeless / Focus Izalco Max review

Swapping from 28mm to 32mm tyres made a big difference to the ride characteristics of the Focus Izalco Max (2024 edition) review bike. After starting with the original spec (ie. as delivered) it was 71psi (front and rear) with tubes for the first ride (links below).
Then, 61psi in Vittoria Corsa tyres with tubes OUT and sealant IN – and weight saved, quality of ride sensations improved...
Now: 32mm Goodyear Eagle F1 Race – tubeless, and rounding out the early stanza of this bike review with a smile. Fantastic feedback (ie. less / more comfortable ride qualities), more grip in corners, and generally better ride sensations.
Watch my reactions to the tyre change.

This is the story of my ride on 7 November 2023 after changing from 28mm to 32mm tubeless tyres on a review bike.
