    I'm sorry mate, but Mangell's recommendation carries more weight than your condemnation.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    I would'nt go far as condemnation! I was just dissatisfied with it.
    By all means you may like it. My experience with it was'nt a great one, and I far prefer the michelins i'm running now.

    Even if the Contis only last for 8,000km, the Pirellis would have to do close to 16,000km to warrant the additional spend. The jury is still out on the Angels too.

    True, i'm trying not to be sucked into the gimmock with the Angels.....

    I guess it also depends on what your requirements are too. I'm more interested in wet and dry performance rather than mileage. (obviously it's important still but I still put performance first)

    Particularly when there's no reason given.

    Why didn't you like it? (i cant say THEM because you only had it on the rear with a worn front). What was the problem?
