    What are the best tyres to get for a Gilera Ice? The wheel size is tiny :rofl: 120/90 10inch.

    Its for my boys ice, he's got Pirelli SL26 on the front and vee-rubber on the back :wtf: but both have seen better days lol, so need replacing for deffo :confused:arc:

    :( Recieved only one of the tyres, just rung them and they sent out two tyres, so some robbing bastard has nicked one! :msn1: ..now got to wait for a form from them, fill it out send it back, and then they will send me another tyre......not there fault, but its bloody annoying!! :tdwn:


    EDIT: Just had a phone call from them, I don't need to fill a form out, as they have sent me out another tyre anyway :punk: ..hope this one turns up! :confused:arc:

    :rofl: Thats what I said to the woman on the phone when I first rang them, funny thing was the invoice was missing from the package, but on the postal labelling it said "1 stuck" german for 1 item, told her that aswell but she was adamant that two had been sent.....lying cow :bird:
