Update........ My hand was forced this morning, after I found the tyre pretty much flat. Managed to get enough air into it to crawl over to the fitters. Was planning to view the tyre that the local fitters had sourced, but decided to just bit the bullet and go with it. Lip is definitely...

Good point about the TPMS. I was planning on getting just 1 new tyre. Currently only done 1500 miles and not too much wear. Another option is to get a part worn via eBay (local-ish) with 5 mm tread left. Was hoping to get the one with the he patch via hot vulcanising process and could put...

This is an absolute nightmare! Managed to order a tyre at a local place, having assured it was the right one. Just called to confirm and now I’m told it has a different part number. Apparently FK8 has Continental part 03589470000, which is rated for up to 186 mph. Listed as 90Y, no brackets...

Hi, Just joined the forum, but I’ve visited quite a few times and picked up lots of great information.. This is a request for help, as I am about to buy my first CTR. I have wanted one since the EP3 days and nearly 20 years later, I’m loving the FK8 and finally have the means to buy one! I...
