1st time tyre buyer
« on: September 09, 2010, 16:53:52 »
Can somebody advise, as I am new to biking/buying tyres. I have nothing to compare the trailwings with.

My Wee has just had its 1st MOT, advisory, Front tyre tread is low and uneven.

1--Should I replace Asap?
2--Do I need to replace both?
3--I aim to replace with Avon Distanzia if need to.

All advice gratefully received

Throw some anakee 2s on there you won't regret it I promise. Excellent grip in the dry decent in the wet and not to bad on gravel.
Best thing I ever put on my strom.

I second this, I've just done 1500 miles on a new set of AK2's all across western europe in the pissing rain, very well behaved!!
