Tyres

Post by Aardent »

Im refurbishing my bottletops and treating them to a new set of tyres.

Originally would have been fitted with Pirelli P6. Any good recommendations for a faithful replacement or better performing pattern ?. When i had my first one in the 1980's i remember aquagliding was quite a problem .. but probably drove it a bit too hard in those days anyway ! :-o

Any advice appreciated

Uniroyal tyres are good in the wet, but I prefer continental or good year which are better all-rounders and quieter.

Very happy with Goodyear Efficient Performance, plenty of grip in the wet and dry conditions also nice and quite.
