Just ordered a pair from Event Tyre.
Should be here with a few hours.


They only seemed to show the rears on their website, but when I called them they know the fronts are different sizes and have them in stock.
Even if you order 4 of the 50s they will still bring 2 55s iyswim.

must just be my local place that cant get the re050's anymore shame since they get from supplier and/or it was some factory backorder with no ETA when i last enquired...

ah well, hopefully get some 050's around the end of summer when new tyres are due

Same here. Got a full set 14th May. First time I've used these tyres, they seemed pretty good. They stood up to some abuse at the ring
