Default New Tyres for Zuky - Staffordshire (Q 4 Quiff possibly)

I have been advised to buy Zuky some new boots as hers are stock tyres and a little square.

She was ridden by an expert last night and after 5 mins of it being rode round roundabouts how she should the chicken strips are no different LOL

Question is - anybody know anywhere in Staffs as close to Stafford that is cheap on tyres???

Quiffy hun where do you get yours from ????

try CMC shell, just ring for a quote their quite helpful, all you need is the sizes off the side walls of your existing tyres and some good recommendations of make and type.

They win, I have BT021's on ym SV after the MEZ6's, and I dont like the bridgestones. The MEZ6's were FAR better in the wet and the cold, the BT's just feel like they want to let go.

This being said, when I had the courtest blandit, I had some dunlop roadsmarts put on them (i think thats what they were, quite a new model of tyre i think) and although they had slightly heavy steering properties, they gave me great confidence.

Steve was the cheapest for the storms for miles around for me?
£180 ride in and fitted.

The difference that storms made to my riding was great... total confidence in them.
