Hey Ian,

Just on the tyres subject ; I had a set of Yokohama (spelling?) 17-40-
215's they were gone in 10 months!! I can't remember the compound,
great grip but they disappear v v fast! I bought a set of Avon ZZ1's
(17-45-215) this time around and they are wearing well.... excellent
in very wet conditions.

Best of luck!
Cathal
