monty_jon Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 (edited) Is the golden tyre GT255 worth buying, anyone tried one lately? I've noticed the online seller mytyre is doing the rears for £54 incl P&P! Edited August 27, 2014 by monty_jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldf4rt Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I had one of the stiffer sidewall tyres on for one trial and it split all the way round the sidewalls. This was replaced by a softer sidewall variety and that one won't hold pressure and it's not punctured ! Tried it on 2 different bikes (different wheels) and it stays up all week until I reduce the pressure and ride a trial on it then it goes down during the trial? Had it under water and no leaks anywhere. Can't remember the numbers as my bike is not at home so I can't have a look but it was called a Gecko. Steer well clear ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mags Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think the old adage... the cheapest thing you buy (no matter the price) is the thing you buy ONCE! The Dunlop on my Montesa and the Michelin on wife's Beta have been fantastic tyres. Not one issue on either. The Dunlop seems to have stiffer walls/softer tread so I run slightly lower pressures there, the Michelin has softer walls/harder tread. Both seem to have around the same traction in non-wet areas. Have not done enough wet riding yet, to decide. Mags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
