Re: Goldentyre GT200 & GT205 - an ulternative to the usual TKC80's
oh by the way the goldentyre brand makes a quality enduro tyre so the 'black bin liner' quip is a little harsh :laugh: no seriously.... i've been using their enduro tyres for a couple of years and wont use anything else. the fronts are the best i've ever used and if you pick the correct rear for the conditions you can't go wrong. some of the top riders use them, almost all the extream enduro were won by their rider (and only lost one cos they cheated him out of it - ok don't quote me on that
cos itgot a bit touchy :dry: )

I had another short ride over to slough to check out the ex george white shop (waste of time) and i'm getting to grips with them now.
The front is simply fantastic, feel just like a road tyre and i have full confidence in hard breaking.
The rear - still taking it easy but no 'moments' so far and feels fine but i'm just being cautious.
Got them cranked over to about 1cm from the edge of the front and 2cm on the rear. To be honest they handle better on the road than they have any right to, concidering the size of the knobs!
I was going to going for a trail ride today but ended up taking out a triffid rose out the front garden!

I might be accused of being a ‘dealer’ by the forum moderators and get this thread chopped! In actual fact I’m not a dealer by any means, but I’ve been offered these at a good price as they are not normally stocked by his dealers, so I can pass them on to forum members.
RRP is:
GT 200 130/80/17 4 IN STOCK RRP 117.00 INCL VAT
21 FRONT 4 IN STOCK RRP 67.99 INCL.VAT
