    Just interested to see who uses what tyres, where they purchase them from and what price they pay for either a set or a rear tyre...

    I got given a set of bridgestones to try this year, the new V01 slicks after using the metzeler slicks K2 for 3 yrs.. I love these tyres, thought they were just as good or even better than the K2's, and cheaper.... I can get them at the start of the year for €250 and after march for €270, a rear tyre set me back €150 during the year... Rain tyres are also the bridgestone rains, wouldn't want anything else, best rain tyres ever!
    I get mine from a local garage, no where really in belgium that does cheaper tyres.... I get all my stuff from here :cool:

    So what do you use, where from and how much do you pay...

    On track used the Dunlop d212 gp which were a fantastic tyre will use these next year when I start racing as I can't use slicks been a novice .Just back from Jerez where I was on Dunlop kr108 and kr106 which were fantastic and the tyres I will use doing trackdays ,both pricey tyres at around £300 but well worth it .

    Tyres from James at Infront Motorcycles Chester | www.ifm-moto.com always seems to be the cheapest when I ring other companies.

    What's the difference between the 4NHS and the 5NHS on the Dunlop Slicks?

    Is the 5 just a softer compound?
