Do it ! Heard nothing bad, and anything else that is stickier will wear out and cost even more !

IMHO

P.S. £150 each for mine !

hi dunx thanks for advice, did you have these a while ago when cost more money or have bigger wheel, because if you paid 150 each then im getting a bargain dont you think ? these are on mytyres.co.uk.

gonna go for them then folks,what is best pressure in tyres for grip as i always look at my tyres and think needs some air in that,i dont like it looking low,also when i bought the wheels it had pirreli p zero nero but the tread on these is ok on 2 and and just about legal on other 2, i know these are a good tyre (p zero) but sessantras will be new so hoping to notice more grip.

I add 5 psi to the standard settings, as I always seem to wear the outer edges, as if under-inflated.
