Anyone ever considered using these or have any experience with them. Spotted an ad in the local rag this morning.

Used to always get part worn from a place in waterford. Pirelli P7s for 80 a pop. Great value. Will prob go to him again when the Fto needs tyres. Will look up the name.

The tyres lasted well on my Bmw plus nice guy to deal with.

Hmm. Anything like this based in Cork or Limerick? Would work out a hell of a lot cheaper I reckon than forking out €175 for a corner at the moment.

I wouldn't..

seriously.. I've had a blowout at 60kph at that was hairy enough..and that was on a rear wheel in the honda back in the day...

Camskill.. new tyres..
or go up north and pick up a goodyear F1 r17 215 gsds3 (or whatever it's called) for 100e including fitting..

defo safer than chancing your arm with something somebody else threw away..

remember those for little rubberbits is all that ensures that you can brake, steer and accelerate .. go cheapo and you're more likely to go blammo...
