I am a postman I am supposed to be late but maybe not quite 10 years lol
I have just emailed M & P regarding tyres if I can get a promo for a fiver which covers the postage then I will indulge in conti's although I have not seen the price of the vee rubbers anywhere but 2 years ago I put clear silicone in the cracks where they had perished so I guess it's time for a couple of new ones

Conti Go is the way to uhh, ...go. Pirelli City Demons are pretty good, but don't last very long and are nowhere near as good in the wet. There's a Michelin tyre available too that apparantly sticks like crap to a blanket, but I've never tried them - I've heard they're pricey, and because they're a sticky compound, don't last long either.
Contis front and back and you're set. Some people recommend a 2.75 on the back instead of the 2.50, but when I tried it I noticed absolutely sod all difference...

Welcome to the Club Postie
I did see the tyre question and you can get a 2.75 on the back....... maybe even more but 2.75 is good

Re: New member
Ordered a 2.50 & 2.75, so are you sure this will make it handle like an R1 ?

Re: New member
Hardly, though it will handle well. I still fail to see the point of the 2.75 on the rear- makes absolutely sod all difference IMHO.

Maybe it's for all those high speed corners & getting your knee down
