I had a puncture on the M3 on the way back from L'Amble d'Automne last month, which totally ruined the tyre (4.50x17).
I have Longstone 4.25x17 on the front. I was wondering what the advice will be to replace the rear tyres, Waymaster 4.50x17 or Longstone 4.25x17?
I look forward to hearing peoples' experience.

Quite happy with excelsior from Fleet tyres , minus vat if ordered at spring Beauliue .
I am always interested in any information about Rosengart details or current owners.

Martin,
I have Longstones all round on the Ruby. They look great and the steering is light and responsive but the back end seems to wallow more then when it had 4-50s on. Pumping them up to 30 psi improves things but I'm expecting they will wear quicker as a result.
I have Waymasters on my special. They were very cheap - and are much lighter than the Avons I had before - but embarrassingly noisy. I keep meaning to put the Waymasters on the back of the Ruby to try the difference.
I'd be keen to hear others' thoughts too.
Peter.
