Puncture .... And a surprise new tyre

[G Man]

So was enjoying a nice cruise through the Cotswold when all of a sudden the Tyre pressure monitor warning lights just went mad .. I initially thought the monitors had gone screwy but they showed a stead drop in pressure at the rear.

This gave me a couple of minutes to find a safe place to park up and call for rescue, the girl on the phone predicted help in 1hrs, I was recovered in 50 mins by BMW rescue, during that time a quick couple of phone calls found the Bike Tread in Swindon had various tyres of the correct size. Dropped off I was offered a 3 choices of Pirelli Diablo/Rosso/Corse III.

I choose the dual compound Corsa III. All I can say about this tyre is wow ... simply the best rubber I have been on ... I scrubbed them in doing a couple laps of a quite roundabout and the confidence I had with this tyre meant I scrubbed to within a 1cm of the edge which is a whole lot more lean than I dared with the std Diablos. The turn in is much quicker I have to say I am quite stunned. Cost 130 quid

Can't comment on the tyres but I use bike treads and have always been very pleased with the service!

Always used Bike Treads, they're pretty good. Although it does frighten me a little that a certain someone works there...
