The Tyre Thread

266 on loose wheels,+ 35 to ride in ride out plus 30 quid cash back if you have them fitted by the dealer
250 on eBay but I'd rather support a local shop and can't be arsed faffing with loose wheels to save a few quid
Can't wait to try them tbh,I bet tyres have come on a lot since I've got back into biking from a 7 year lay off

I don't mind paying a bit extra. They're good at this place which is why I use them repeatedly. They check your bike over for you and tell you about any issues they've picked up. There's a check list they go through. They use the manufacturers manuals for all of the torque settings. They don't rush a job either.

Perkles if you're about on Saturday I'm booked in with them at 3pm for the rear tyre.

There's a place near me like that - I always use him for fitting and I wish I got a quote from him for the Racetec rear that I bought brand new as he was only £2 dearer - I was in a rush!

He has a new guy in the car department though that has a habit of leaving wheel nuts loose. Mine was loose and as I went round a bend on the motorway I could feel something horrific. I slowed down and pulled off the motorway, took the cap off and I could turn all 4 nuts about 3 turns by hand. I then checked the rest of the car and tightened them all up. He was apologetic and I got the tracking done for free whilst I was in there and he checked every wheel nut himself.

While I was in there someone else had the same thing happen to them - he took the kid out the back to have a word with him after that.

What pressures are recommended for M7RR's? Ive got them on the CBR now and need to scrub them in once I've fitted the new brake disks (hopefully)

It had bridgestones on before and I was running 40 on the rear and 35 on the front.

Try that and see how you get on. Maybe reduce by 1 or 2 if you're not happy with them.

SPs wont be in for a few weeks,Pirelli UK have sold them all
I got quoted 300 elsewhere so their price is good

I was thinking if you wanted to have a ride over with me so you know where it is. I might be going to Cradley Kwak afterwards to see what bikes they've got in stock.

If you're needing some sooner than later you can probably get them really cheap from Oponeo.co.uk or try the Racetec RR K3.

The key differences between the Supercorsas and RRs are that the Supercorsa prefers a smoother riding style and input. The RR gets better and better the more brutal you are; I only started getting the most out of the front when I was throwing the bike into the corners. If you are more of a smoother rider I'd be inclined to wait. (Oh and they're about 1second/lap slower)

Haha.. well it's a cheaper alternative anyway - I'm sure you'll like it just as much and it probably wouldn't hinder you at all

Addisons fitting some Angel GTs to the Multi wheels today.

[Perkles]

doesnt look like the Supercorsa SPs are going to be in before the end of the month ,the Pirelli rep who is an x racer has recommended the new Rosso 3s .He tried a pair out at snetterton recently and reckons they are the dogs bollax. Alternative is Metz racetecs
Anybody used a set of r3s ?

[Kwacky]

You had a chat with Addisons to see what they recommend and what they can fit before Saturday?
