Joe - BIN THEM ASAP....! ...
Yeah, I replaced with a nearly new, part-worn front and a new rear Pirelli, ...
Michelin PR3's - absolutely fantastic tyres, wet, dry, long lasting, nuff said.

Why would you put a tyre on your bike that someone else had a good reason to take off theirs? How much money could you possibly have saved when a brand new front can be had for under a ton?
... Would you change both tyres on a used bike, or all 4 tyres on a used car you buy too - you don;t know what's happened to them either....

Wouldn't you?No, not unless they needed it?I don't understand this way of thinking. If you know what happened to them, you would know whether or not they need changing, if you don't know their history, how can you know if they are good enough to keep? Including the price of new tyres when buying 2nd hand is no different then including the price of a service and oil change. Or do you only do them if you think it needs them?
... as they're really not helping my confidence ...
