Anyone know what the Gigaro alloys would be worth ?

 

with and without tyres. 

[hutchysrs50]

Around £300 for a set of Gigaros, then up and down depending on damage, tyres etc.

[ESS]

Ok so its time to purchase a full set of tyres for my new wheels. 

 

Recommendations please.

I've done about 1500km on Bridgestone Potenza RE003's and highly recommend them. I did my favourite "back roads" course on slightly wet roads with no brown trousers moments recently, and find the traction control (when on) not flashing as much as I am accustomed to.

As we live in the UK I recommend Uniroyal Rainsports Great in wet and damp conditions.

 

Soft in really hot conditions, had them fitted for over a year now and love them. Just swapped Fronts with the Back ones to get more life out of them, I reckon i can still use them until the end of this year.
