I've seen these advertised but all the ones I've had have been J rated 62 mph and can't find a P rated one on Heidenau's website.

I've spent an hour outside tonight, skinned three knuckles and managed to remove 4 studs from one rear hub using a combination of double nutting a ground socket and the blow lamp. SIP might at least be an option on the rear now.

Less optimistic about the front but I need to take it off to see why the brake is binding on a bit anyway.

Have ordered a pair of the Scootsmart tyres.
