Hopefully I can wear out the (no doubt) Bridgestones that get fitted to mine before I come back to the UK!

That said, with a bit of luck I'll get some slightly better tyres on it from the start.

The climate and Tarmac surface of Cyprus roads will help wearing the Bridgestones slightly faster than the other forum members. Remember though, that after the summer you should change them. Cool weather after that amount of heat destroys the tyres. The Bridgestones will behave like wood-wheels after, say, November!

Should be okay as I'm here until the spring of 2015 and although it gets cold enough for a frost, we're still around 10 degrees in the day even in the coldest months. I'll deffo keeo an eye on them though.
