i would speak with Nitron about their new Street series.

Walshy can supply them :thumbsup

Brand new and at £553.19 surely a better call? Guy was very impressed with them for road, and occasional track use.

Nitrons are £650 inc vat + my insurance would hit a bump, just a stretch too far.

Been offered these at £200+ postage , 12k miles on them. Private seller who's added the nitrons to his honda elise. Can anyone advise if these look ok? To me it looks like a little superficial rust on it

The outer body tells you nothing about how the oil is broken down inside. But they don't look horribly leggy.

Impossible to tell from a photo - if it's the route you want to go down, you'll just have to take a risk.

Shugs bang on, its a risk you will have to take but one Id be happy to take myself. They look clean as Ive seen some after only 3k and they were in worse condition than, that hope that helps?
