Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Any thoughts on these lads? Is anyone running them? They are supposed to be fantastic all rounders that have amazing wet grip. I am thinking of buying, but not before I am convinced that I am not buying into hype.. Here is what they look like-

Probably a fine tyre.

But the Michelin Cross Climate IMO is better suited to the Irish climate.

Directional tyres are probably better for out and out performance (guessing/gut feeling here really) but... they do make it more tricky to even out wear across a set of tyres.

You can only swap them front to back, rather than side to side or diagonally.
You have a 50/50 chance of your spare facing the "wrong way" if your spare is directional. No big deal unless it's bucketing it down I suppose.

This is purely my own intuition on these things - if someone has facts that contradict these opinions i'll quite happily take them on board :-)
