what is a popular choice of tyres for my ctr as the brigestones are worn out and are pretty expensive to replace, just wondering if there is a cheaper option without compromising grip etc.
Thanks

Bridge's are epicly baws!!
Go for a Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD'3, or Uniroyal Rainsports. They're my recomendations.
Or Toyo T-1R if you want a decant budget tyre, they seem to be popular with EP owners.

I hated the T1R's I had for grip, shocking in the wet. They lasted ages though!

I've got the T1-R's & have to agree that they are shite in the wet but in the dry they grip really well. Bought mine off Camskill (search it on Google). They offer all ranges of tyres for good prices with cheap & fast delivery! :roll:

kuhmo ecsta ku-31 is a decent performing tyre if you're on a budget! if you can splash a bit, I found Pirelli PZero Nero's were very good :lol:

Uniroyal are good tyres, pretty expensive too. It you have a tight budget, i'll suggest go with Toyo Proxes T1R. I had it on my ep few weeks, there were wonderful. Works on wet/dry road. Much better than BS 040, lower noise level on motorway.

RE040's are the best tyre choice the for EP3 for road use.

For overall grip in the hot weather, rainy weather - and hot/cold condtions ....

By far.
