    unless you are desperate for them i would maybe wait as there is a good chance there will be a group buy on them again at some point this winter

    Cheers fez, I'm running Diablo corsa's at the mo... Fairly low now, do you reckon the dunlops are the tyre choice? Or 2ct's? I avoid riding in the wet, just want something less twitchy than the pirelli's...

    Bloody hell. I've just ordered a set of sportsmarts off eBay for £259.00. That website is £30.00 cheaper!!

    i currently have the diablo rosso corsa's, they give me plenty of grip but i will be switching to the sportsmarts next as they give much better millage but still give just as much grip,
    i ran the 2ct's and found them to be a very good all round tyre but like you i dont ride in the rain if i can help it so changed to something a bit more sticky as the 2cts soft compond is only on the very edge of the tyre (11%) i believe but the soft compond makes up about 33% on the drc's and sportsmart's

    I always find our local tyre dealer gives the best prices, for example last Dec i put new PR3's on the CBF and the price i got from Sillets in Aberdeen fitted was miles cheaper than what i could buy the tyres online for, so its probably worth phoning around your local tyre fitters to see what deals they can do you may get a surprise..
