tyres, new or 2nd-hand
« on: February 24, 2008, 09:05:46 PM »
Does anyone bother buying "New Rubber" anymore or does everyone constantly scan flea bay! Ready for gettin some pilot power race, normally get em of chaos. Whats the secret, to find a good source and use them regular or do you throw caution to the wind and take a chance ? Bet some right shit tyres been bought this way.

I only buy scrubs if i am trying a tyre for the first time mate. Like you say it's a real gamble buying scrubs unless you know and trust who is selling them  :icon_thumright:
