    Unhappy Slicker than I thought

    **Sigh**

    My rear tyre! Dear gawd!

    Why?
    WHy?
    Why!?

    Why did Pirelli have to stop making 150/60/18's?? They used to cost me $180 fitted, and they were I tyre I really trusted..

    But NOW, I have to get (ew ew ) Bridgestone.....whatever the HELL they are...

    And
    And And!!

    They are costing me $275 fitted..

    I need a hug

    I'm sure you'll be able to find summat that's trustworthy and (hopefully) not too expensive. If nothing else, technology is marching on, so you may find something even better'n the Pirellis you liked.
    ... and that's what I think.

    Or summat.


    Or maybe not...

    Dunno really....

    I thought you could get a GPR70 for an 18" rear. They are a bit cheaper, around $250 if i remember correctly.

    And then you say you can't go on rides cause you have bald tyres sheeesh.
    BTW do all nc30's run an 18" cause the zxr runs 17 and you get pretty cool tyres for them.

    If not i dunno what size it is but http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Mo...n-16169095.htm

    Oh, but I did end up going to Kopu last Saturday to met you fallas there...I couldn't wait long cause I had to get back to the Mount..

    I have only been told that they fit a 18', but apparently they can take a 17'.
    17' is too bizkit for my liking..
    I know you can get some wicked tyres in the 17'. But I got a sweet deal from a dude I know

    Anywho I'm riding up to Orc-land this weekend...heh It's going to be mint
