It may be sensible to indicate which currency you're thinking of. cheers, clive

I have these on my company car - they're not bad at all, a little soft and quick wearing, though. > Michelin Energy E3A 67,30?/u. - 269,20? > > Pirelli P5000 Drago 46,30?/u. - 185,20? > > Dunlop ?SP Sport 01? 60,30?/u. - 241,20? (I could have mistook the exact > model) I have Dunlop SP200s on my Alfa 75, but they're on the front, which doesn't do much on a 75 other than point the nose vaguely in the right direction. They've lasted so well, they've gone off due to age rather than wearing out. In that size, you have a whole host of choices - I'd tend to buy Pirelli P6000s for everyday use, however, if I wanted a performance tyre, I'd been looking at Yoko A539s. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE - COSOC KOTL BOTAFOT #87 - BOTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC #

I found them as good or slightly better than Continental Sport Contacts in the same size, and much better than Dunlop SPs. -- Tim Vincent(t.a.vincent(a)freewheeling.com) |
