Not all Dealers are shit... I had this tyre put on at my last service.
Since then I have covered 1500 miles and then last night I spotted the eggs on the back tyre.
I rang the dealer this morning and they said bring it in as soon as possible and they will replace the tyre free of charge and then fill in a claim form for the tyre.....
They could of told me to piss off but they didn't

Ello cheeky the tyre is load range C 265kg At 40 psi cold.
Well the sheet metal Empty weight is 156kg... and max Capacity 340kg......
Is the tyre load rate good enough?????.....
I weigh 15 1/2 stone which is as good as 100kg added with bike at 156kg making a total of 256kg..... empty load rate....
I have seen alot of blokes that ride the GTS are 20 stone or more 127kg added to the bike is any load range good enough......
And max capacity in the hand book is 340kg and a 127kg Man making a total of 467kg 
And yeh I know the max Load weight will include the ridder
what tyre do you recommend .  |
