    Hi

    Currently there is a 50 profile tyre fitted to my 2008 blade, I've noticed a few people recommend a 55 profile.
    What are the benefits of this and will it fit straight on?

    Cheers Gary

    Quicker turn in and more grip on full lean

    Shit, I don't want THEM! I like a nice one-inch shiny strip along the edge of my tyres!:D:D

    Seriously though, I bought the Blade in November and have hardly even had the chance to test its capabilities. Few good days coming up in the midlands though. Think I'll be rippin' the covers off!:cool::cool:
