Been meaning to post this for a while but just been so busy.
I've had my Chim for a while now and have clocked up allot of fast miles in that time.
When I bought it I noticed it had cheap Nexan tyres on the rear. They do actually offer quite allot of grip and I have been enjoying myself trying to destroy them.
Anyway thought I'd start looking for new tyres the other week. So I went outside and wrote all the details down off the tyres.
Then got a very cold feeling when I found out the speed rating on the rears is 'R' which equates too 106MPH! yikes
I'm surprised my girl-friend didn't punch me when she found out, especially after our trip down the toll road on out way to the Chim fest.

Hmmm, just tell her the 'R' stands for 'Reallyfast'.

I see you're gonna swap 'em......I should do it sooner than later as in the event of a spinner or such you might have insurance problems.
