I love it. PT BArnum was right.
As for tires, as outlaw said, replace if at all suspect. Nothing makes your bike handle better than good tires. Good chance for me to hate on Dunlops. These ride the way your metal wheeled skateboard did and then when you changed out to some modern sealed bearing Sims you were on cloud 9 (yea, I'm that old). Get some Avons (my personal favorite) or Metzlers and don't look back. FRiends say how long Dunlops last. To which I say, "so does a Volvo." lol.

The Dunlop 491 Elite II's are 1000 times better than the 402's.
