Watch out with tyres, cheap one are sometimes old stock ! There is a date on the I think its a week number and year, i see you didnt say Pro and i bet you have been paying Â£210 for the pro and not the standard S/Corsa

Good luck with racin

Regards
Jim

I bought brand new wets at the end of the last race as it started to rain then stopped so i had them taken off the rims and now stored under my bed on top the the rad pipes so they keep warm

I would only buy from the race track as they are not that old some companys must had them stored in the cold or even damp conditions it doesnt do them any good

Even over winter if you are thinking off doing the odd track day put both paddock stands on the bike so the tyres are not on the cold concrete will stop the tyre from going rock hard

Just beware off what your buying cheap is not allways good

I dont know where you get your information from 'sloweracin' :

Tyres need to be stored 'in a cool dark place' HEAT will cause the solvents
to activate. Hence when they are used in the rite conditions the 'blue colour that they go.! COOL-DARK place. Put them in black bin liners in a cool place

they advertise in the back of mcn every other week. the advert is red and yellow, with no company name.

don't try bfm, they never have tyres at the advertised price. their number starts 01274
