I know people say "dry weather riding only" but if you live in the UK is that statement even possible?
I only have to look at my bike at work and it rains, and it will normally stop about half a mile from my home.
My point is, i would still buy a tyre that's at least proven to be "okay" in the wet at the very least, 'cos there would be nothing worse than being caught in a sudden storm then finding out that your bike slides better than Torville & Dean.
Try and find a garage or mechanic that will happily fit a new tyre with a loose wheel that you've removed from the bike yourself and you will save a bundle of money in the process, even after they've charged you a small fee to fit them.
I'm like a lot of people on here that believe tyres and brakes are VERY important to a rider so it's just best to do things right where they're concerned.
