tripletom is on a distinguished road
A chap could be hurt by some of these comments... and I wouldn't say I was quick per se, but rather the Ten lets you take liberties and you don't have to brake much when you only have 46hp.
To go with your scale then GULG;

Conti TKC80 2300 miles before changing. Rear still has 6mm in centre, front is probably double that. �130 delivered

Michelin Sirac OE fitment, 4500 miles, front had developed a bad wear pattern and was terrible on white lines, back flat spotted very quickly from 4000 miles on. Cost?

Bridgestone Battlewings BW501/2 5500 miles, wore evenly, loads of grip, hedge excursion excluded. Again, the back flat spotted within the last 500 miles, but the front still had another 500 miles left and was wearing ok. �130 delivered.

I fit my own tyres, with the exception of the rear TKC, as I couldn't break the bead on the Battlewing I removed.
