New tyres for my Club

Rovering · 4th June 2015, 04:34

Telephoned the Tyre Shop I got the set of Michelin Primacy 3 ST tyres from for my Tourer. Wanted a set of tyres for my Club this time, but knew that the Michelins were on a special when I bought the last set.
Lucky me......they are on special again!
So that means both my 75's will be shod with the same brand, size and pattern of tyre. Plus $185 NZD each.
Quite pleased with that!
A quick online currency conversion puts them at £86.04 per tyre, fitted and balanced.

Not bad at all. I think quality tyres make a huge difference to grip. I had to get new tyres this year, two at the front as they were close to the limit. I got Dunlop Blue Response as they had 25% off nut they were still £90+ each. Then a few weeks later I got a puncture on one of my rears. As they were cheapies I decided to replace both of them with Michelins (the Dunlops weren't on offer) for £90+ again.
I think you got a bargain.
