does any1 have any good tyre websites where i can get them cheaper.
i got a quote of 90 for the front and 130 for the rear not plus fitting so if i can get them cheaper that would be nice.

cheers

this might sound odd...but after 500 miles the tyre feels grippier :?

this section of the forum is excellent because im able to 'log' the performance of this particular type of tyre and the pictures help jog my memory.

at this stage i reckon the tyres are scrubbed in for maximum grip.theyre giving me lots of feeback and confidence.
when i renew the rubber (dunlops next) i wanna be able to compare rubber.

thanks bridgestone,great stuff :)
