Don't know how true/accurate this is but interesting.

Shame nobody has stock.

I got four from Tyremen just before Xmas. Ordered late on a Wednesday evening and they arrived on the Friday morning. £164 each - result. They were the only place that had any kind of stock.

Shane - think I might be missing something, as many here have been running them for a few years. Is this a new version, a good price, or is it just that tyremen have stock when no-one else does??

I'm on my 2nd set and can't complain but was surprised a little by the test results so wondered how accurate it was. I really rate them in the wet and snow but was still surprised how much better they tested than others twice their price.

Why are you selling Klauster? Not impressed?

Agree...very good in the wet and at colder temps.... I'm still not convinced when they're getting pushed and hot, however.
Sorry shane.. I won't go on about it (could really do with an emoticon that has a zipper across his mouth)

Probably have it about right Tim; I too am on my second set and for normal roads in virtually all conditions and certainly for our roads they are great but they were found wanting a little on the Ring and therefore maybe don't have the last 5% of ultimate grip that something like a PS2 / supersports or F1 have. But then they are a harder compound and last twice as long (for me anyway) and cheaper than the others mentioned to so ideal for what type of driving I do.

Cant argue with my first set. Got them in Dec and they have been super in wet and dry so far.

Didnt I read that they were to be discontinued in another post on here?

You did read that Edge but according to Camskill, Tyremen & black Circles this isn't the case. They should start circulating freely in the next few weeks.

I'll be sticking with them for normal road driving as I can't see any of the bigger brands being £100+ better per corner. That's a night at Browns for me :-)

I have never fitted a set, just got them when they were cheap, but might flog em and go for something else

Are they 255's or 275's Nick?

Ah well, I would have had them off you if they were 275's for future use.
