Hi,
I have Hankook Centrum K702 165 x 15 tyres
and they seem OK...
Most tyre places would have them...
Check on Bob Janes website..

You can get cheaper chinese tyres...??

Michelins have gone to the EXPENSIVE market these days

cheers

I had TOYOs for quite a few years, and found them quite good, but a bit succecptable to damage on building sites. I am now running GOODYEARS am quite happy with them.

On my Soob I run Bob Jane all rounders, do the job realy well at a good price and I think (will have to check if this is still true) they are made in the land of Oz. been using them for years but I tend to tread fairly carefully on the road so can't speak on performance.

I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!
