Hi guys..
we are being robbed blind..
got a k60 scout for £96 2mnths ago now its £114 for the 140/80/17 but in 18" rim size its only £80 what the hells going on..18" rim tyres are far cheaper yet larger tyre area so more rubber..and they sell less so more expensive to manufacture etc..
The old k60 in 18" under a new brand name are real cheap "mefo" like they had loads left on the shelf..the rate were going it`ll be cheaper buying a ktm.. .
Also the new scouts in 140 profile are SHIT and wont last like the old ones as they have a higher silicone content .sticky yes ..but the old ones where the rocks just eat them alive...why dont people leave things alone..
Off road tyre prices up in 6 mnths..

i like the boys but i wish they would stop calling themselves the hairy bikers, there is all of 5secs of them riding bikes in recent series. "hairy cooks" doesnt have the same ring though does it, we can see them in any kebab shop

They have bought them I saw them at the KTM centre yesterday. Full luggage and all stickered up.
The mittas tyres are good they seem to last well and are only £116 delivered
