It's a pain as I should have noticed it before I fitted the wheel.

I had a very appogetic phone call from the MD of Central Wheels - he was mortified. Arrangements are in hand for the front wheel to be collected so the tyre can be removed & fitted the right way and couriered back to me.

I'm happy that they will sort it at no cost to me.

It replaced an old Dunlop, and has been doing a fine job all through the last year. Grip seems OK, and it generally just does the job with no drama. Wearing OK too. When the 750 is ready for the road, it will probably get a set of the same, as there is a shortage of modern rubber in the right sizes.

Also...as already said...if the manufacturer has given it a rotational direction....I would not want it fitted the 'wrong' way. It may not be a serious risk, but when it comes to tyres 'may not' is not something I would feel happy with. It would just gnaw at me....knowing....

Same here, I was always a bridgestone chap but after being given a set of Pilot Road's by the rep at work I thought they were great, I'm on the 5's now which is my 10th set of these now. It's all the VFR has had on it for years and although the last 4's were good, the 5's are brilliant in the dry, warming up noticibly in a really short distance and in the wet they are incredible. Some privateer boys use them for wets in club racing theyre that good!!
If the Classics have a Michelin sticker on, they'll be good ken. Besides, if you dont get one with them its not dear for a new set of something else........just a bit of faff I guess.

It is an MOT failure if teh tyres on against rotation. had loads through the shop like that in Newbury when I was there.
