was going to say that to ivor  :shocked:  :lipsrsealed:


That's the least of the wheels' problem in that picture!! ;)

Tyre's are shocking, TBH, but they came with the wheels (4 odd ones).  Still not bad £350 for the lot, though! :smug

I only got one decent tyre with them, & that was an F1 GS-D3 (Only about 2-3mm left on it now, though).  Since then, I've had 1 x 6mm F1 Assymetric put on already (£50 delivered), & had another 6mm F1 Assymetric picked up today, as it happens, for £38 8).  I'm just biding my time, waiting for the bargains to unravel! :P  Only 2 more to go, now!! :)

No offence, but Pirelli's are way down on my list!  Just don't rate them, TBH. ;)

Mmmmm, I know a few people in the tyre trade, & none of them rate them either!

F1 Assymetrics (N/A in 16", though :() or Michy's (too expensive new) for me.  Then maybe Bridgestones next. :)

Good plan.  No point swapping them if you're going to get 18's.  :afro:
