OEM fit on TF120/135 until end of production. GY F1s were still fitted to the TF160.

I wore a set out without any road disasters - no lurid spins, no out of body experiences.

Changed them for a set of TOYO T1-S because I've used them before. Prefer the TOYO but could easily live with the Conti's. Check the TOYO site for a dealer in Exeter and get a 4 tyre price - you could be surprised. Probably around the £60 each fitted and balanced.

Oo.. cheers John.
I thought the 25% off deals was a good one though. Glad they aren't too bad a tyre for the money!

I think my Conti-Premium Contact tyres may have been a bad batch, as they started to disintegrate together with amount of cuts on the surface of the rubber, and grip was at a premium. When I had them replaced with Toyo’s the fitter didn’t seem surprised that they had gone like that saying something like “its not uncommon for Continental's”.
C Tideswell

Cheers one and all. Went down to the Toyo dealer near Exeter and as you said John, got a set of T1_S's for 55 quid a tyre balanced and fitted. Wow, how much grip is there!

Thanks once again, problem sorted!
