    Me and my brother have bought from them, quick delivery and good prices.

    The only thing I found was that local tyre dealers are not keen to fit tyres bought from elsewhere so charge more for fitting and balancing which sometimes makes the price very similar to local if you shop around.

    I am lucky that my local shop only charges me £10 a set (loose wheels) to fit :) so thanks for the heads up on that company, will check them out next time?

    Used them for my R1 a couple of months ago. Took 4-5 days to arrive and much cheaper than anywhere local. Will be using again nest time.

    Thanks all for the recommendations, purchased the fronts for now, luckily my local fits loose for a tenner and I dispose the tyres myself.
    Bargain me thinks!

    I used to use Oponeo with no problems, but then TyreLeader came along and were cheaper. Tyreleader have put their prices up substantially now and seem uncompetitive - I need a few tyres so will go back to Oponeo.

    Cheers,

    Ian.

    Sorry ... Bored ;)

    I've had both on a few bikes ... The blade is one that it doesn't make a great deal of difference tbh... If you compare like with like (I.e brand new 50 v brand new 55) ... For track I think the 55 would be better due to fatter side grip ... For road the difference is too small to matter and you'll have a fatter part of tyre upright where it matters ...

    All opinion of course. At the end of the day do what the fuck makes you happy ...

    :D

    Well I do tend to as many (if not more) track mile than road, but if more grip is what you want on the lean, then 55 is best for that, but yeah, up to you as its your money :eek::D
    and I always do what the fuck makes me happy ;)

    Prices seem very cheap at the moment :) I ordered 2 car tyres from them this week and have the DPD tracking reference for those.
