Oh Christ, not tyres *again*

  1. Well, yes.

    The GTR wears a 190/50 ZR 17 rear, and currently sports a rather
    fetching BT021.

    But they wear out in less than 3,000 miles and they're not fucking
    cheap.

    I used to like Azaros on my other lardy old buses, but they don't do
    that size (AFAICS).

    I ride like a gurl, but in all weathers. Some grip would be good, some
    wet grip would be really good. Some longevity would be good too.

    What does the panel think?

    change that I can make: I have decided not to breed. Now quit bugging me and
    go and talk to the Catholics.

    Road 2's or the sport version, but that doesn't last long on the back of the
    BMW, so i'm replacing mine with a road 2 asap.

    Pilot Road2s. I had them on the Daytona and the rear lasted 8K miles
    and gave excellent wet and dry grip. A worthy replacement for the
    AV45/46 imo.

    I've opted for Pilot Road 2s. They seem alright, though I have only done
    about 12 miles so far.

    Heh. Well, with Lozzo and Ogden's votes, I think we may have a winner.

    Ta.

    I suppose Ogden's 12 miles on them would be the decider

    Yep. If Penfold can stay upright, I must have a fighting chance.

    I would've said PR2s too, but I've been too busy working on my clique
    membership application to bother with UKRM this evening.

    Oh dear, they haven't fooled you with the 28 page application form too?
    Trust me, when it gets to the bit about "DNA Samples", you're either
    going to lose interest or your lunch. Or both.

    And it's all a lie anyway. You'll have been black-balled already, and
    you won't *believe* who by.

    Really.

    I was stunned when I found out they were a member at all, no matter
    level 1.

    There's a form? Bollocks, I was told all I'd have to do is put on a
    blindfold & swallow on command.

    Damn, where's Des when you need him.

    Pah! I'll get a translation from the non-senile member of the clan.

    Adie? What's the old fool on about? Is this another part of the
    anti-Azaro jihad?
