Unbeatable tyre in the wet, veryy good in the dry but when pushed to the limit they squirm around a bit. They are supposed to but a couple of times on roundabouts they've felt like I was losing the front. Still they did give you the feedback so you could adjust rather than just tucking under which was good. All in all I give them a 9/10, only bettered by BT021's in the dry but those tyres are not as good in the wet as the Storm's.

All.....I've rung around a few places for quotes with mixed results. The best I can seem to get are ?205 for Avons, ?210 Z6's and ?198 021's. These are prices fully fitted. Are these about right? Just that they seem a little much.

A vice and some tyre levers is cheaper than that

My local tyre place would do it for £5 a tyre plus valve and balance to loose wheels.

?178 I can live with, but the other figures were just ridiculous. Plus, this place is only 5 miles down the road, so easy to get to. The one that quoted ?258 is Suzuki's dealer of the year also!!!!! Just could not believe it, i'm never going there again!!!
