Dude

I have a full set with tyres if you want to beg or borrow its up to you. But if you have a bag of sand in your back pocket buy yourself a set of Compomotives!!!

I have just replaced with anthracite Compomotives (& Goodyear F1 asymmetric's) as I had damaged a front beyond repair.
I have 2 rears wheels (with Federal tyres with bulk of tread) & 1 front in good condition for GTO 3R.
PS. Also 2 Bridgestone Potenza's again nearly new off the fronts.
Let me know if interested, fish3242
