used cups value and nitrogen

Kev.H · 21-08-2010, 05:41 PM

I finally swapped my cups today the old ones have about 1.7mm left on the rears and slightly more on the fronts. Worth ebaying if so how much ?

Also has anyone tried nitrogen in their cups ? Place near me is offering it at £2 a tyre.

Cups worth about £50-£100 each but only if even wear

If the inside or outside edges are gooses you may get a squirrel for them

As for nitrogen I've never bothered as it gets contaminated so easily (if it's not evacuated properly or as soon as air is added) I'd say don't bother with it.

I run Nitrogen and a strong believer it gives an extra 4bhp. Get your tyres fitted at Kwik Fix and they give it to you 4 3.

Tyres look ok to mr as well

I've used Parcelmachine.co.Uk and speak to Rhondda

They are very cheap and they use DHL to pick up
