Contis work really well on my Hairnet

Unfortunately I had to pay £210 fitted for my pair, mainly coz they wouldn't give me an MOT without a new pair of tyres and they advised me not to ride away on the old ones as they were totally illegal

Nice tyres, though, and for me/my bike much nicer that the BT56 (f)/BT014 (r) combo I had on

Is it worth having a specifc thread for this kind of info thats stickied.

Rather than searching for local tyre suppliers, we could just have a sticky thread with the details in that can be updated each time somebody finds a supplier that do good prices / or give a good service ?

Good idea Fizz - perhaps with a rule that any crapola will get deleted just leaving the facts?
