Hi

Has anyone tried these? Are they any good? Looks like a good price.

I need a new rear tyre BT020 at the moment.
Would it be worth while getting these and having them fitted, or should I just replace my BT020 at ?110 leaving the existing BT020 on the front

On a side note, anybody know anywhere doing good ride in ride out prices on tyres in the west london/thames valley area.......

I got them from them in October/November. 2pairs for ?224 I think was the offer. Love them. Sticky in wet and dry. Never looked back. Warm up real quick too.

Just check your fitting price. I got charged ?60 notes under the table for a pair, or it would have been + VAT.

I had some of these on mine, went for this offer too. Tyres themselves gave me what i need and were very grippy even in wet :)

£40 in the main dealer ... £30 at the smaller outfits including balancing. You have to shop around. It's 1hr work so £60 + VAT seems very steep.

If I can't be bothered to take the wheels off myself (and glad after seeing the effort & struggle they had) to halve the price on loose wheels, it's probably not worth it for a change or two a year?
