haha, yes. old tyres is not a problem i will likely suffer from any time soon! i get about 1-2000 miles from a set of 225/45 16 toyo R888s on the tiger :)

13 inch? the last set of dunlop 185/70 13s i had on the tiger lasted me two weeks / 5000 miles.

sorry to come to the thread late, but i don't think reliability is something you need to worry about with a tiger. mine has never broken down on me. i've driven it across america, europe and morocco and i tend to abuse it locally somewhat too. drive it regularly, keep it well maintained and it'll be...

There were 3 tigers on display and Jason Andrews put on a great performance racing his. Here are a few photos: http://owainlloyd.n...
