Enduro Runway 926, £55 a corner. Probably the better end of the budget tyres.

At that price, Mr EMD should snap up some F1's immediately.

I've just checked.

In the 94Y variety they are still for sale at £68.14....plus postage.

If I had 17,s I'd snap them up. Not as grippy as sc3 or RT but for that money, who cares.

Sadly the 18's are £120 odd.

Aye, EMD I'd recommend you go for those GY's, given your more sedate style.  Far more consistent than the budgets you'll get for the same sort of price.

I wouldn't recommend for more spirited drivers, given my experiences across multiple sets.

Can some clever bastard tell me what the 94Y part of the equation refers to?

94 is load rating, omega takes 93 and above. Y is speed rating, which covers it.

Ps. Me not clever. :(

Ooh, good price. I've got the 97Y load rating F1's and they were £105 each a couple of weeks back. The 94Y's were £100 each at the same place.

All good then.

What we now need is for Mr Emd/Mr 99p to put his hand is his pocket.

I get the feeling Mr 99p is a bit scared of a quality product. :-\

At £68 a corner I'm tempted to buy four in advance.
