Post by: fab5freddy on October 08, 2013, 06:58:00 pm: I'd suggest buying the best tyre's you can afford, after all that's the only thing keeping you on the road :happy2:

Goodyear assy 2's are a great tyre and not the most expensive

If you need help with which size, have a look at Jay's very helpful thread here

Post by: OSB on October 08, 2013, 07:15:17 pm: Personally I would not put Nankangs on a push bike!
My only dealings with Falkens were good in the dry and not so good in the wet.

But as above, Goodyear Assy2 are just about unbeatable all round.

Post by: Gman30 on October 09, 2013, 07:07:33 pm: Yup, another vote for the F1's..

Nankang = aka ditch finders!!

Falken's = ok if your on a budget but you would def feel the difference between these and say the F1's.
