I think its meant to be you fill that in yourself - why would you say otherwise - and if I lied (ahem) not that i would.... because I have 2mm on the sides.

Could be wrong here...but i dont think the Corsa111 comes in a 160 size. Just before any SV owners get all excited.

I've also realised that these probably aren't the sort of tyres I want (need) on any bike I ride, not least because they are £40 more than the alternatives in the first place.

I think after the "moments" I had in France I am willing to try something a bit stickier on the Daytona and these seem like as good an option as any.

You have to declare it but they don't check. Must be something to

Just ordered a pair to get put on Saturday, £230 fitted so that will be £190 when I get cash back, about the same as the ContiSports (fitted) I got on which quite frankly are only OK (I've done about 800 miles and will keep them for Autumn to Spring riding). The local suzuki dealer wanted £305 righto

Again, nice post Fizz
