Re: What Tyre
the tyre section is probably a good place to start
 Cheers Mark.

Re: What Tyre
Have a mooch on the Tyre Review Section.
But I would recommend Avon Storm Ultra II's, get a pair (front and rear) for about £200. Best Tyre by far in my opinion for price, miles covered and confidence on the road...

Re: What Tyre
Thanks for that, I'm going to look at Avons and maybe Dunlop roadsmarts, tyres are important, I'll just wait a few more weeks until I've saved up enough doe to buy non budget tyres.

Re: What Tyre
I'm now obsessed with my SportSmarts. Never had a slip in the wet despite getting a bit fruity on occasion. As soon as it gets relatively dry you can literally feel the heat in the tyres if you whip your gloves off. Excellent. But pricey!

Re: What Tyre
ripa, I am as tight as a ducks **** on a swimming trip to the pond.
Go get the Avons, £/mile win win win. Had them on the SV, now have them on the Aprilia, I won' be fitting anything else. |
