   Get some decent tyres, because the less you pay the worse thay are

   I got second hand £10 Maltador tyres on my vtr and they seem to be ok. I drive like an old taxi driver so that maybe why i find them ok.

   Go for the kumho tyres, I paid about £50 per tyre and they last about 10K with some quick driving and work really good in the wet.

   No point in skimping on tyres. They are whats keeping you on the road after all. Why risk your life further to save £20-£30?

    Kumho KU31's off Camskill, circa £40 a tyre, and they're bloody good tyres too.
