On my way to work, on the motorawy at 60mph, I got a rear-wheel puncture. No dramas due to the bikes stability. After getting it repaired I decided to replace the tyre as the tread was getting a bit shallow.
After shopping around and finding a R$120 price difference on the same Pirelli tyre I went to get the tyre fitted. Upon arrival at the shop, the salesman asked whether I preferred a Metzeler to the Pirelli as I was already using them. After asking how much more it would be he informed be it was R$110 less than a Pirelli!
I was really surprised as I had always thought of Metzeler as an expensive brand. Moral of the story, it really does pay to shop around!
