Just seen on here in the FAQ that the S-spokes weigh 11.4KG and the new R95 weigh 10.7KG...Nice!!! Least they are slightly lighter!!

I've got Goodyear Eagles F1's on my 17s at the moment and I have been really happy with them, the only size I can see that will fit will be 225/45/18 but not sure if that will be ok though?

So far £100 per tyre is the cheapest I have found! There must be cheaper than that???

£100 / tyre is pretty good IMO - to put it in perspective when I last changed (x2) tyres I paid £165 / tyre for the Dunlop SP-01's... dealer quoted me £205/tyre!!!

Unfortunately the £100 per tyre was the wrong size...looking for others now! Feels like it will be Christmas before I can afford to get some tyres!!! GRRRR.
