oponeo tyres

[flat spot]

Anyone heard of or used these for their tyres? https://www.oponeo.co.uk/

Looking at getting a new tyre and they seem quite a bit cheaper than elsewhere so it sets alarm bell ringing. The site looks OK mind so after some recommendations.

Cheers FS.

In a word, Nah.
You only have a tiny bit of area in contact between you and the road on a bike so i count it as very important. So unless it's got ideally bridgestone, or Pirelli, goodyear, dunlop, mitchelin or avon written on the side i'll give it a miss. I've had bikes with random name tyres on, but they were never as good as the real thing. On tyre i had was actually grey rather than black It'd corner like a motherfucker, but lock the second you applied any rear brake. I had kumho tyres put on my car once, they were alright, but then they weren't much cheaper either. Kinda like to tyres what hyundai are to cars?

Executive summary:
The £10 you save on the front tyre will be small change compared to the damage getting a shit one might incur.

No id didn't i got as far as 'oponeo' before shuddering at the thought of a tyre breaking traction

Lol at Frost.

I have ordered from them before and they delivered what they said they would and fast. They are a polish company that are well respected over there.

Go for it.

Thanks for the advice Frost. All that typing as well.

Well I've ordered so I'll let you know. I don't know about other tyres but for my they were a tenner cheaper than the next cheapest online and also do free delivery.
