Title: New Tyre: Bridgestone Turanza T001 "Evo"
Post by: wbm00 on September 25, 2017, 20:05:21: Considering one of these two options as Pablo's fronts are down to 2.5mm and 3mm:

Leaning towards the Bridgestones, even though the Dunlop is slightly quieter (68dB vs 70dB). Mainly because they're a newly released tyre design plus they'll come with a lifetime puncture guarantee (via Tyreshopper) or a £10 Amazon voucher (Halfords) against each tyre.

Any other brands our members are happy with and would recommend?

No don't do it! Not the Diamondbacks! :crazy1:

Michelin Pilot 4 are supposed to be great (but probably a bit more expensive)

For a while Continental EcoContact 5 was the flavour of the month too...
