buying a rear tyre with puncture repair

Theres a couple of used D220's on Ebay in 160/60/17 flavour but a new one retails at more than I paid for a pair of these http://www.mandp.co.uk/productinfo.a...r3url=Michelin
Which I thought were brilliant and after 7K miles still had plenty of life left when I traded the bike in, look out for the Dunlop Raodsmarts comeing down in price too now the Roadsmart 2 has been released.

But as i say only my anal preference No doubt if you save £60-70 quid you could buy more bling to look good when its laid on its side!!!! sorry had a bad day but still buy the best you can not someones cast off.

Well yeah that's one way to look at it.

But if it's not in danger of going pop, then who cares about having the absolute maximum grip on the way to work.


If it's been done with a mushroom patch then I don't mind using plugged tyres. I would want a bit more tread left for that price though.

Sometimes the TWI is 1.5 mm. so if your strapped for cash get it measured.
The M and P deal works out the same as 2 part worns .

they were 1.6mm 1000 miles ago...
