New Booties

Not happy  :evil:

One of the new tyres is scrap - must have picked up a return instead of a new - and the company says they will replace it but they can't guarantee next day delivery on Saturday. So it looks like I'm going off road this weekend with only 3 new tyres. I'm holding judgement on the company in question in the hopes they can come through for me - [PooPoo] happens - but up to now the customer service is a bit lacking to say the least. Here's hoping. Like I said. Not happy.

Simon. Grrrrrrr.

Tyre arrived at 7:30 this morning so can be fitted this afternoon. So whilst they might not be too friendly on the phone at least they managed to get me the replacement quickly. I suppose it's just one of those things!

First impressions of the tyres are good. There's not too much road noise (although it sounds like a prop driven plane is chasing you if your freewheeling with the window down!) They seem like quite a soft compound so road manners were better than I expected in the wet last night. I will have to adjust the turning lock as you can hear the tyres on the arms but other than that I'm happy with them (now!)

I'll let you know how they fare in the Mud as I'm off to Langdale on Sunday  :twisted:

Simon.

Dave:
