Re: Tyre Wear G01

Oh well, I bit the bullet, got the tyres changed and because Kwik Fits tyre price and promotion code for the Pirelli’s was so good price wise (as it happens it’s even better this week and would have saved me a further £30 on four tyres, if I only I could have seen into the future and as I found out f ...

Re: Tyre Wear G01

Stinky, as I’ve said I’m considering the ‘latest’ Pirelli tyre, which is BB and 70db rated (you might have the CB rated one), but what’s your experience so far on wear and handling?
