Bit skint, so had to go for budget tyres. 4 Triangle Talon 225/45ZR17 for £220 all in. Seem good in the dry so far, but a bit pants in the wet. Only done 400 miles, so need to scrub them in a bit :D

Will report back.......................

Just watch it - especially now the weather has changed.

I've tried cheaper tyres in the past and had serious brown seat moments :thumbdwn:

:eek: serious understeer y them... you should always put 2 good yins on the back...

Got a few miles on them now - well impressed :)

Did a full bore takeoff into a roundabout yesterday - plenty of grip, but no wheelspin. The TC didn't cut in :thumbup:

They are proving pretty damn good in the wet too :D

Nothing yet, whether the original Contis or the Vredesteins could cope with 251 lbf @ 2000 rpm :)

I have budget tyres on mine, great in the dry terrible in the wet.

I have seriously scared myself stupid with some - never again, as in (years ago, pre ABS) locking up 5 times and reaching road junction and still been travelling at 20 mph +). Luckily was dead of night and no one was coming so I managed to 'slip' left (not true 90% junction) - a scant second or so a Traffic car had passed the other way :eek:

A friend on the same tyres had done a full 360 trying to avoid a car that had pulled out on him.
