Metzeler MEZ6's. Grippy, last a long time, inspire confidence

And not expensive

No Pilot Road 2's in your list? Any particular reason?

We had Diablo's before fitting PR 2's.................the PR 2's are not only far better in the wet and the dry, but we get almost double the mileage out of them too.

Worth considering, maybe.

Lissa, I'm needing some noew tyres soon too - just wondering if you had Diablos, or Diable Stradas before the PR2's?

Thanks, and sorry for the hijack.
Billy.

We just had the Diablo's, not the Strada's.
