Took the bikes and the car for a spin.

Looks great on the miltons, I've warmed to them a lot recently. How are you finding the PS5's? Mine are a little slippy starting off.

The PS5's seem pretty hard in this cold weather, and a bit merh tbh.

Not sure they really excel at anything, they are ok I guess, and perhaps I have been spoilt a little, and expecting too much. Can't wait to get my Belvedere's back on and researching what to put on them :wink:

Yep have to agree that in the recent cold snap my PS5's have seemed very hard and a bit slippy leaving from junctions - I guess to be expected from a summer tyre, they do seem to handle well in the wet though.

Definitely perform better than the potenzas most of us started with anyway. I'm going to try the continentals next time round, hopefully a while off yet though.

I definitely regret selling my belvederes, 19s in winter is not fun. I was searching for another set or a set of revos, both seem to be like hens teeth now.

I think you are right Rudedog.

Something silly like 7kg, all I remember is even with a tyre on them you could hold it with one hand fully outright. Was so much easier putting them on.

Unfortunately there seem to be quite a few of us looking for a clean set of Belevedere 18's, they seem really hard to cpme by?

When I sold mine I made £300 on them without tyres, because everyone wanted the Reifnitz. If you can get a set below £900 now, you're doing well.

Found out I clearly don't have a high enough concentration of washer fluid as my headlight washers had extended this morning presumably due to frozen washer fluid expanding in the pipes!
