New tyres

Post by L8ERS » Fri Oct 13, 2006 9:55 pm

I've just put some Avons on my turbo!

I got a pair of ZV3s for £48 inc fitting part worn - look new!

Just hoping for the same for the rear!

I've been reading up on Siping - its good and bad. It has to be done right but it seems to work well in the right circumstances (ice, lots of water). But apparently can be bad if done incorrectly and used in dry conditions!

Anyone have any experience of this?
