Tyre question

Post by CBR_GRFT »

I probably going to need two new tyres fitted in the near future , can anyone recommended any decent places were i can just take the bike in NO FUSS and get it done?

I have had enough of bridge so wont be going there.

depends on what you want. At the mo m&p and busters - both online shops are doing pirelli diablo corsas at £135 a pair. They are doing avon tyres too for about £120 a pair. Most places will fit them for you for about £20 to loose wheels. Can't say i know how much to fit to the bike as i haven't used that service.

yea it probably would be cheaper to purchase online, but then i have the issue of getting the bike and set of tyres to the garage. Ideally i just take it in somewhere ask to have the old tyres taken off, new ones put on, and leave it with them for 4hours or so, all done in time for me to get back to work.

Ive heard CMS are supposed to be fairly good but i dont have a number or address for them.

Had a bridgestone BT021 fitted to rear of my bike at protyre and it cost £125, Definately cheaper to buy a set and have them fitted to loose wheels as when i did that it worked out at £160 for both.

i don't think they do a fitting service. Try sp on marsh barton, we get discount there. Best thing. Decide what tyres you want then give them all a call and see what prices you get quoted. Saves running around

Borrow my front and rear stands and take both wheels off :wink: .

Source the tyres online

Take both wheels and the New tyres to bikeworks, down near exe bridges and he will put the new tyres on and balance them for £15

Sorted :D

I would say SP or Peak Performance.

Pro-Tyre used to top notch for bikes however they have some real dicks down there lately.
