cheap good tyres? - SV650.org

Just been to look at a bike at padgetts in batley 01924 478491.

One thing he did mention when I was talking to him they have a race team and sell off metzler road tires (cant remember the model but they are some sort of all weather sporty ones lol) for 100 quid a pair with literally half a dozen laps on them.

No idea if its a good deal but had plenty of help and advice on here so thought I would share.

There has to be a reason why they're selling them. It could be as innocent as they use a set for practice and then put fresh ones on for the race, but 6 laps and then junk a tyre? Sounds fishy to me. They might be ok, but I suspect they've had more than 6 laps of wear.

Not really most scrubs have 3-4mm of tread still on them.

Use ebay. They're cheaper than that on there
