If pennies are tight and tread low

M&P have a stunning offer on for a pair of Sportstec M3's in standard 120/180 size at a mere £119.99!!!

They have other good offers, for an extra £15 to £20 you could have Diablos, contis or pilots.

I found. The M3 to be a poor tyre in the wet. The rear frequently stepped out.
I am not the only person who found this. An expensive cheap tyre if you bin the bike.

Agreed. Horrible tyre and they don't last long either. False economy.

My view is that the Pilot is a good tyre wet or dry (no dramas) and lasts well. Had them on my 1100s and now on my1200ST

Yep - got it mid June with Givi Wing Rack and panniers. Used it most days for work since then. Put about 1000 miles on. Few little (cosmetic) things done to it but it sailed through it's MOT. Dropped oil, put a headlight protector on, changed front brake lever cos it was slightly bent. I'll give you a ring when I'm heading up that way and you can see it in all it's 15 year old glory. I'm really pleased with it!!

For those living in/around London you should try FWR. Very similar prices 'and' fitted!

I've used BCT for the last few tyres I've bought and always had good service. Think they're in Bristol(?). Good prices and they even put me onto a pair of tyres that were cheaper than one at one point doing themselves out of money
