This photo makes me feel slightly sick! A little too close to finding it on bricks in the morning!

What pressures work best on the Vreds? I have just had mine delivered and getting them fitted next week.

I ran them at slightly higher pressures than the ones for the stock Continentals. Around 2.2 bar front and 2.3 rear.

I asked for 32 front, 34 rear, he wanted 34 front, 32 rear!

Good to meet you last night Flimper, and thanks for your old tyres - looking forward to taking them beyond the limits of traction in the summer :thumbsup:

Good to meet you too, I'm sure you could do them more justice than I ever could!

Have been running the Vreds on the same pressures as the OEM Contis (30 front, 32 rear), but they don't feel great so am going to give them a go at 32.5 front, 34.5 rear to get some improvement
