Just my £0.02p, but I hope they grip better than Nokian's mountain bike tyres, which offer absolutely no grip whatsoever. I had one on the rear for a month or so and every time I went riding I hit a tree and died.

Seriously though, they used to give them away as prizes at races and when the event packed up the "new, super sticky" tyres were left behind in the mud / bin.

All of this small rant brings me to my basic point... safety. LRR must mean low grip... and for me, with no ABS to save me, that is a scary thought.

I was up for a set of the conti eco 3's myself, until I read reviews about how much less grip people got with them. Perhaps I will leave the LRR tyes to the ABS boys!

Time for a newer car I think!
