To buy new wheels and tyres than to replace the worn out tyres.
My latest fleabay purchase is a set of BK239 18" Alloys (new) with a set of Contisport2 part worns fitted.

Saved refurbing the old wheels....yet ;)

These wheels are brand new.
The old ones are in need of a major refurb. Building up with weld and flatting back.
Shame as I prefer the look of the old ones but to get them done properly is a bit out of my budget for the foreseeable future.
I've got to pay for a couple of bits and bobs I've ordered from bad people with shiny stuff on here and I need some boots on the bike.

Thoroughly recommend the Maxxis Sports Al, proving to be a very good budget tyre ;-)

Not sure I'm brave enough. I've got pilot 2ct's on at the mo. Was going to try the Pilot Pure next.
Maxxis still have that psychological barrier that is Cheng Shin as a parent company. And I've hurt myself on their offerings before!!

Well i've run out of tyre on both sides and under some heavy accelleration too ;-) V Twins Rule lol

Am the same with Dunlobs, threw my last set away after 500 miles cos they bit me..............badly!!!!!!
 
Mate, that is looking sweet. I actually prefer them to your other set, a good job and well priced as well - nice find.
