Title: XBR outfit's tyres
Post by: guest7 on October 15, 2007, 08:12:50 PM

I changed the tyres on the outfit today as it was running with three illegal tyres (9 points if stopped  :o)

I had my last Mitas rear tyre from the batch I purchased on Ebay (£20 a tyre!) and I picked up a new Avon Supreme (18x350) last weekend at the Ponthir classic show for £10.

The Mitas that was fitted had done 6,000 miles, bloody impressive for an outfit's rear tyre.

The sidecar tyre was going to be replaced with a trailer tyre I had in the shed, but it was slightly narrower and I thought sod it, I'll splash out the huge sum of £20 at a car tyre place later this week.

Cheers
