I'd never heard of them, yet my 75 came already fitted with them. I
have no clues as to their life yet, they were near new when i got it,
however no matter how hard I have tried - at public road speeds in the
wet or dry I have not come close to being able to unstick it.

I could unstick my P6000's on my previous motor, but not these.

Comments please...

This is the most powerful sigfile in the world and will probably blow your head clean off.

Must have been a topic I missed, sorry - but no apologies for my
opinion on these tyres, they stick very nicely thank you.

I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just gloomily prognosticating.

I have twice used Nexens on my 75 Harry - and have been very pleased with
them. My daughter has them on her Astra at the present time.

I have never accepted that all budget tyres are rubbish. Some (such as Wanli
tyres) certainly are, - but others are entirely satisfactory.

My 75 is currently shod with Federal tyres and, like you, I have also pushed
them hard to become accustomed to their abilities. I am very satisfied with
their performance and would certainly fit them again.
