It was a ****** to get the tyre off and a ****** to get the new one fitted i ended up giving in and taking it to a bloke down the road even he struggled with the proper machine.

Just about to get out and try it now while the sun is still out so let you know later but it looks pretty good on. definatly more dual purpose but not as much as a tkc.

Thumbs up

Ok ride report I only went for a quick spin to scrub them in probably about 10 miles so no crazy corners yet.

They seem great and when I went to test out an off road section of the fosse they really showed how crap the front tourance is in the mud it just wouldnt grip and i dropped the bike once as I had no control at all.

So yeah very happy with the tyre I just need to find a similar treaded front for hopefully a similarly bargain price.

In a nutshell I like them enough I may get another because at �32.50 delivered I don't think you will find a cheaper true dual purpose tyre.

Hi
I tried to find the tyres on the internet on the website you gave but not sure if I am in the right site as cant see them at �32.50?

Please can you check and let us know?
thanks

Stridey, not having any luck myself they appear to have been taken off the site. I did find the same tyre but it is now listed at �72 but when I purchased mine it just showed up I will have another gander but I think I may have just been lucky.

yeah i am thinking of pairing up with a maxxis on the front at �38 it looks pretty decent value and better in the mud than the stock tyres.
