    You sure they are right ones for a Blade?
    They are GTs, think they are more orientated to heavy tourers.

    For PR4s you should be looking at
    Michelin Pilot Road 4 120/70 ZR17 58W TL, Front
    Michelin Pilot Road 4 190/50 ZR17 73W TL, Rear

    Yeah tyre leader are well priced, just don't get the GT version!
    Also, worth sending them a quick message before tou buy to check the manufacturing date as sometimes they sell older stock.

    This is all well and good but then you get fleeced by the tyre fitter for putting them on.
    Takes the good news out of the deal, bought a front PR4 today from my local dealer who got it in next day and have never scratched a rim (yet) they charged me £115. I can live with that

    I fit and balance myself and I don't really covet my rims, who gives a shit if they get the odd mark.
    Worrying about little things like scratches, stone chips etc just takes the fun out of biking imho.

    A tenner for fitting is excellent, wish I could snag that approx £30 down here.

    Cant say I worry about scratches but I do try to avoid them if possible, 4 Years finance hits you hard so its nice to try and keep it pretty for a while at a least. Cant beat fitting it yourself tho

    Come south of the river Zippy, the people are nicer and fit and balance is only a tenner.

    You know it makes sense .

    Id love to mate, I was born South in Croydon Area then lived in Caterham for ages. But a good woman bought me to Orange Essex.
    ...mind you a tenner is tempting :)
