    Buying a new set of tyres for the runner, i've asked around but im still unsure.



    im either getting Michelin Pilot sports



    or



    Bridgestone ML50's



    the bridgestones are slightly more expensive.



    i've never had pilot sports on the front, only on the rear.



    but i have had the bridgestones on my old bike and stuck like glue, so at the moment im slightly biased towards them.



    whats your opinion!



    remember it's winter, so need a tyre that handles well on the cold wet roads!

    it didn't cost me a penny to have my old tyres removed and my new ones fitted, probably because i ordered the tyres from a place that also fitted them.

    Mine are the same size as my old tyres, with a much better profile too.



    For some reason you don't see them advertised much on the internet for that specific size, so the best thing to do is go to a local tyre place and ask them to order you some in, mine took 2 days to come, can't complain.
