Sounds good to me.
What sort of mileage do you get from the front pilot?. I like the idea of a little more even wear as the tyre gets older.

HiYa Dynamite Could be a few things. The fuse blowing normally means excess current being drawn through it. You may have anything from a crappy conecter to an internal short in the loom somwhere. Have you been given any other clues as to when it blows. ie out in the wet, turning the handle bars etc....

Hi Vtrick
Try a couple of bridgestones. 010 on the front (sports) and 020 rear (sports touring). The rear is a duel compound tyre and stands up to motorway traveling quite well and having the sports front gives that little bit extra confidence on the tight and twisties

Thanks peeps. A mixed review then. Well the front ones fitted now and first impressions arn't too bad. But then again it's nice to just have a profile on the tyre after the old ones ragged edges. They seem to warm up quicker than the bridgstones and considering the amount of salt and wet weather the...

Hi Stevie. Yeah I know what you mean about the finish :cry: I drive mine all year and the salt kills the alloy bits every winter :x :x I normally just try to keep on top of it in the winter and as soon as the salts gone I get the old wire wool out, a new tube of autosol, and plenty of soft rags. Wha...

Hi Jacey Are you sure they're race and not road? If they are race (and I'm not hinting you don't know) I would check to see if any carb work has been done. A race can normally has less backpresure and if the carbs haven't been ajdusted to match you will eventually burn your exhaust valves out. If th...

Something else to consider is Mr Insurance. if you have a scrape and they find out your running incorrect pressures they might not pay out. Check your suspension settings if they're wrong you might just mistake it for tyre pressures and vickyversey. Most of all this time of year the tyres don't work...

Well, It's Friday lunchtime and no delivery yet. :cry: :cry: Boss mans just informed last night that I'm needed in the states for an urgent job so I'll be flying out on the 13th for a week. Mrs wants the decorating finished before xmas so I guess all my time for playing has bin booked :cry: Sorry fo...

Ouch! The Twats!
Hope you got them to replace the damaged bits and sent them your laundry bill for good measure.

Cheers Fluffy.

Delboy has seen one de-laminate on an SP1

Didn,t realise road tyres (except remoulds) did that. I thought it only happened to superbike hero's.
Oh well looks like I'll have to try and behave myself on the Tesco's run

Thanks Essexbloke. Sounds good enough for me. And the price I've been paying that for one rear Bridgestone.
