Tires?

16 Jun 2014 07:50

OK, so looks like I have to replace the tires on my Mrs' little gpz. Last time I bought tires "the shit" tires were Dunlop 491 Elite or Metzler ME88 and Laser front :blush: What are you guys using nowadays?

Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!

Avon Roadriders are a good choice. Good traction, good life.
