You are a bad influence. :lol: Got to get some new tyres soon, I'm either going BT023's or Pilot road 3's. My front is borderline legal if not illegal and the rear I want to change so I have a matching pair. I just wish tyres where not so expensive. I may just have to go for cheapy maxi's :(

Got mine done there, ex-Storm owner, I told him I would put the word out on the forum & he knocked a bit off.
