Hi Claire,

have you already changed your tyres?
Did you choose the BT45? I think they are the best tyres available for the Estrella!

Hi Andreas

No not yet, but soon. Just paying off the trip to Fiji then next on the list.

Claire

hi,

Andreas it's right. BT45 it's the best tyre for estrella. 11 000 km no problem !

Hi Claire,

does Hubert wear new tyres now? How are they? How do they feel?
Do you notice any difference to the Accolades?

CU

Hi Andreas

Yes the new tyres are on. I took Hubert for a really good ride on Friday to get rid of the slippery stuff and then tested them a bit on the way home and they were great.

Definately an improvement on the Accolades.

Hey has "The Worlds Fastest Indian" made it to Germany yet? If it does you really must see it.

Hi Claire,

and? How are the BT45?
Could you notice a difference between the old and the new tyres?
Or does it feel the same?

CU
Andreas

Yes they do feel better. Although that could be because I was terrified the old Accolades were going to let go at any minute

Hi,

I am going to change the tyres also.

Both are 9 years old... and the rear one is dead (5000 kms, at the limit when I bought the Estrela, 6500 now, really dead in the middle). Autumn, with its rain, is really here now, so I must change it!
Is it normal, only 6000kms?

I do not know yet if I will choose the BT 45 or keep the original Accolades. I understand that the BT45 are better, but the Accolades have a better "look" for Estrella old style...
