I'd reccommend Pro-Tyre, you may pay a little extra but when I had my tyres fitted (Pirelli Diablos) but he service was second to none, my tyres were fitted while I waited and I was really pleased with their help and advice too.

Just realised your in Newquay - not sure if there is one down your way. Busters are generally good but you tend to wait about 7 days or so for delivery - may be worth trawling the internet to find a bargin...

The cheapest quote was £120 from Gt Motorcycles in St A, they fitted the same tyre to the bike 2 weeks ago! everyone else was about £150-£170just for the rear (Pirelli Super Dragon Corsa Pro 180-55-17)
