    I like Cycletreads. They're good guys who stock loads and give you the opportunity to browse before buying.

    I'd rather pay more (not too much more) to support them rather than eBay it.

    They don't offer their website discounts unless you ask and they HAVE price matched for me on more than one occasion.

    I reckon you should put some pures on it.....I just happen to have a couple....

    Pretty sure 'treads will match whatever others are doing tho, like the Kat sez their selling prices are often less than standard wholesale...

    Yeh, If ya commute regularly you should use some road 2ct's or angels or summat. Way better option that will still provide more than enough grip for a good paced fang now and then....

    As would the PP2CTs.

    Yes. The XB12 could destroy a PP in very short order, mostly 'cause of the engine braking. The PR2s would last twice as long, bit squirmier braking but the same compound on the sides.

    I miss the engine braking.

    Will not deal with Cycletreads ever again after the last experience there. They tried to over charge for fitting 3 tyres when there were only 2 fitted. They also snapped the valves and refused to acknowledge they had done this (they are known for this as regular practice) and would not replace them to the original valves as they did not stock them (Triumph parts) and would not pay for the damage.

    They might have cheap tyres but so do other places and others are often cheaper by quite a bit. Their customer service sucks big time.

    Really?

    I fit and balance tyres (that I supply) for free.

    I have just recently brought a couple of PP2cts off Cycletreads at $580 for a pair. Rear one was 190/55 so it's the larger one. Fitted while i waited and bit of a discount when i rode in. Been buying off them for some years and had no problems at all with discount or service.
    I always shop around a bit first but seem to end up there in the finish.
    Trumpydom!
