As we have all speculated on here, i think it best to do the research, ring around for prices and go with what suits best. Back in the days of no internet, we had to rely on what expertise our honourable dealers had to share with us. But we are beating them at their own game, and a lot of them havent woken up to it yet. BTW, i have to ask, and sorry for hijacking the MT thread, does anybody know what went wrong in the Kuhmo factory a few years back? I remember my old man always ran the Kuhmo Powerguard, they were an awesome tyre. But something went wrong somewhere because people stopped buying them and they stopped making them. Did the competitors catch up? or did they start making shit tyres? 4 Blokes i knew had them back then, now they all run Mickey Thompson MTZ...
