Thank you for the response. I wish the best on the healing and retirement! And yes, I just like straight forward answers to questions.

A modest amount of riding.
Now that you've answered the obvious question, that allows everyone to better understand your impressions and eliminate the potential of low tire pressure impacting your riding feel with the TMM tires. You might enjoy a little more pre-load in the shock to raise the rear, which will quicken turn in.
For perspective on my end, I'm 300# in full gear and rode with a ~5 gal fuel cell, a gallon of water and panniers on all the time, usually with about 30# of basic self recovery stuff in one pannier, the other for clothes when traveling. I spent a decade doing endurance rallies and pretty active 20 years of long distance riding & touring. I have a tad over 150k on S10s and rode 30-40k a year for the last 20 years but have slowed down in retirement and do little touring now. With the S10s I ran 36F/38R for general purpose, 38F/40R for heavily loaded touring. Mostly bias tires, Heidenau K60's, Mitas E07, MotoZ Tractionator GPS, etc on the S10. I tried a set of Michelin Pilot Road Trails when they first came out, but they didn't hold up well. I think those and the OEM Anakees, plus a set of Anakee 3s that came with the 2nd S10 were the only radials I ran on the S10s. ~12k for rears, though the original E07s did 14k. If I didn't get 10k plus from a rear tire, I wasn't buying it again.
