I'm bulging...

[makeshiftUK]

... and opening the door to plentiful thread drift.

In the meantime, I've noticed that I've got a moderate size bulge in my front nearside tyre. Firstly, is this something I should get fixed right away? MOT isn't till December, but if its a safety hazard I'll replace both fronts and keep the good front offside tyre as a spare.

Secondly, I'm a big fan of the Michelin s/sports on my QP... what are GS owners riding on, Michelins or Goodyears?

Thanks in advance.

Yes straightaway!!

 

[Devonboy]

Ohh - I would get that sorted….before the MOT

 

[MaserMike]

That is a big hazard, high risk of a tyre blow out.... I would get it replaced ASAP and avoid driving it or at any high speed if you have to drive it to the tyre fitters...

 

[Oneball]

Sort it now. That’s a genuine safety risk.

Indeed. I ran Supersports on my GS. They are quite firm, I understand Goodyear’s are softer on the ride.

100% NOW!

Message received.

Blackcircles are offering 2x Goodyear Eagle F1 Supersports (235/35 R19 Y [91]) fitted for £315... good deal?

EDIT: Local tyre centre are doing 2x Michelin Pilot Sport 4 for £320 fitted, think I'll go for those.

Happened to me earlier this year, pothole impact did exactly the same to one of my fronts, a PS4S.
Annoyingly, had plenty of life left. Answer was 2 new fronts, kept the good one as a spare As you said. Luckily wheel was fine.

Remarkable a SM thread where everyone agrees, get it replaced

Michelin Sport 4S a BIG yes on a GS for sure; step change in handling and no mistake. Oh yes and do change it

Don't open the Pirelli question up again, there are those that hate them and others that are wrong.

You can guess where I sit
