I'll soon be in the market for some new tyres on the Miggy. I found a site with some very reasonable prices and a wide range of brands. It was then that I remembered seeing a thread about tyres and recall a very good set of brand "reviews" by members. As you can imagine, I've tried wading through the threads (and trying a "tyre" search), but can't locate it.  :(

It made me think that it might be useful to have a "member review" section. This would cover peoples views on the various brands of tyre, brakes, wiper blades and so on. Could even have one on TVs, so that TB can have a rant about Sony.  :P

What do you think?

By the way if anyone knows where that tyre thread is, please let me know!  :y

SP9090's all round on mine, can't fault them except for a slight increase in road noise. Good price at WIM.

Thanks for all those site links, guys, very interesting.  :y :y

This is the page I was looking at earlier (my postcode). These guys fit at home. I like the price of the Dunlop Specials which are on offer, but don't know how good they are.  :-/

Off Topic here. But the Horror Of The Week thread on the WIM Forum is an entertaining surf...

"Eye popping" comes to mind  :o :o :o :o
