Title: NOT a Question About Best Tyre, but CURRENT Good Tyre Deals (ie always relevant)
Post by: River Valley on 02 June 2012, 02:42:10 pm: Following my recent puncture on the autobahn atb 110mph, I've calmed down enough to source a replacement set. This question isn't about 'best tyres', but to ask if anyone can point me in the direction of any current good deals to be had? I'm not overly fussy about what I put on, so long as they fit and are ok to ride at decent all-round speeds on.
Thanks.

I've got maxxis on mine and I'll second that. The best kept secret around, they really do match other tyres in performance for 2/3 of the price.
