    Camskill

    Having a chat today regarding tyres and apparently (vx220) the improvement that R888's areover road tyres is the same again above the R888's with Yoka 048r

    Shame they are soo much more expensive or I would try them

    Jesus have you ran both on the 5 now? What were your thoughts?
