TYRES---ADVICE NEEDED

Post by stuartbarriskell » Sun Sep 11, 2011 2:54 pm

Been scouring for new rubber, had a deal there but collapsed as guy is selling rims and tyres............. really don't want to blow best part of a grand to run over broken bottles, craters and dog <beep>.. :-) but I,m conscious of fitting substandard stuff

Anyone got any advice on Avons, Vredesteins etc.. quite happy to pay up to around £650.. been thinking that Avons and the like can't really be bad tyres compared to top drawer stuff like Mich's and Pirelli's etc.


Opinions welcome.

Stuart
