Bike Tyre Places - S.Wales lot

[Ollie_07]

where the best place to buy and get a new set of rubber fitted round here?

or does anyone know any places that will just fit them if i get them of the t'interweb??

[hovis]

yup.........

andys tyres in porth

i get them from m&p or busters, and he fits them, i dont think he is too happy to do it, as he does not make much money as he is not selling you tyres.
although it may work out just as cheap to get them from him?

i think he charges
7 quid to change a tyre if you take the wheels in, or 10-15 if he has to remove the wheels, give him a ring

Cwmbran Motorcycles and Dragon Honda are worth a spin although Cwmbran Motorcycles wanted ?20 to fit and balance a tyre i bought from Busters. Discount Tyres by Cwmbran stadium told me ?7 to have it fitted but not balanced.

Two places near me, one is Paul Green tyres.. always been very good with me, though hes started to charge people for taking the tyres off etc... as most places have,
I generaly use Wayne Bowens in the Rhondda... they let me take the wheels off there myself, so I dont pay for the fitting then.. just got back from there now actualy changing a front.. had to take my front stand over as they had nothing that would fit it !

plus what tyres you looking for as well ?

cheers for the recommendations guys! :-)

any recommendations on which tyres to go with?!

[thefallenangel]

I got a quote from Mark ?193 fitted for a set of BT021s. Cwmbran motorcycles offered me ?170 fitted for Conti Road Attacks but people are buying Michelin Pilot sports from busters for ?113 (with VARAEDO10 discount) and getting them fitted (like me). If i got to Cwmbran motorcycles it'll work out at ?153.

[Ollie_07]

Just a quick update, rang MG Tyres and got the following quotes(Includes front and back tyre, coming to my house or work, full fitting and balancing);

Michelin Pilot Road 2 - ?236
Conti Road Attacks - ?195
Metzeler Z6's - ?220
Bridgestone BT021's - ?205

Seems quite pricey compared to some others prices ive seen on here.

They also will fit both tyres if i decided to source the tyres myself, for ?50 all in....

mmmmmm...

[Ollie_07]
