But ive been a bridgestone fan for 6 years or more.
Out of interest how many miles did you get from the rear
Chris.
Milage im not too sure,but has to be at least 3000 to 3500 out of the rear,which i reckon is pretty good on severe gearing, and front still looks fairly new.
Problem is every time i go out im doing 250 to 300 miles in a ride, and thats sometimes 3 times a week!!!!
just sat here debating wether to go finish off fitting me bike cam

It's sounds like you're a little addicted to the Storm to me
I usually would not have anything other than diablo corsas
but after a rear wheel puncture last week."not been lucky with tyres this year" the only rear tyre the bike shop had left in stock they would recommend (as similar) was a Metzler sportec M3 never had these before so we will see how it compares to the pirrelli.
It was good fun this morning trying to scrub the tyre in..on damp greasy roads.. with the box drivers doing their best to tw@ me!
I've got the Metzlers M1 on mine.
I can't fault them but they do need to be given time to warm up. I've even done a track day in the rain on them when they were only half scrubbed in and didn't get passed all day (except by the guys with full wets on). I could out accelerate all the inline fours So I'm well chuffed with them
well i got my diablos delivered only 2 days after ordering, and took the wheels to hunts in manchester and got them to fit em, and they only charged me 10 squid result, now waiting for a dry spell to scrub in, fingers x'd
