The bridgestones are quite good - BT010 BT020

I like the Dunlop D204 hard in the middle and soft of the out side - like an Armadillo!! (No hang on, thats not quite right is it!)

:( Just completed 2200 miles on my D204...it`s now shagged....
I`ve been and priced up a replacement D204 but it`s more expensive than a D207RR or D208 ???? :?
Anyone have any idea why ???
Does anyone know if i can safely run the original 204 front and a 207 rear....? :confused

Don't know about the compatibility, but Busters Accessories (08702 412040) are offering D208's for £150 delivered a pair (quote RM63). That's the best price I have seen and it's got to be better value than buying a rear 207 and worrying about compatibility or cocked up handling. You,ve probably only got another couple of k on the front anyway before you need to change it.

Just a thought.
