  1. Continental Tyres recall 
    #1
    I got an email today saying that Continental are doing an exchange for tyres made between 2007 and 2014.
    Anyone else hear about this?

    ive not heard anything from Cambrian who supply us in the trade and import them, but then the tyres supposedly affected are a more race type.
    pity about Avon, although local now an American company.
    Keith who used to be at Bob Missens had a good relationship with Avon and was allways getting scrubbed tyres and we had at a good price.
