Student tyred of search?

[Brand New]

Hello ye south western peeps,
I used to be a student and I was broke then, I'm now graduated, and unemployed and I'm really broke now.
My SV has a 180, 55, 17 rear tyre on, used to be a Meztler Z4 now resembles a brick shaped racing slick!! Quote for a new one was 162 squid. cough. :shock:

As I don't have any spare legs or arms to sell at this moment in time, does anyone know a good way to get a nice nice rear tyre for cheap?
Would be lovely if it could be local to Southampton too...
Thanks for your knowledge,
B

Just do what I do:

Find a SV with out an alarm, jack it up on a paddock stand, too spanners later and vola a new tyre. The only down side is the collection of wheels I have...

To be honest as a poor broke student myself there ain't an easy answer I just use the Credit Card and pray there's a job for me when I graduate :!:

Who's your quote from? Give Micheldever tyres a ring, they're usually very competitive.

There must be somewhere which sells second hand tyres. People dump perfectly legal tyres for the 'must haves' of the season. They must go somewhere.

Agreed.

I got a set of BT020's (not 180 section) for 175 ish from Micheldever tyres. I am sure they will sort you with something for around 100 notes for a back only.

Welcome back by the way.

What Carsick and Scoobs said

I got a set of Metzler Z6's from them recently £165

Then I needed a new rear as I had a puncture cost me £90

HTH

If you are going to go for a new one then you can't beat Micheldever.

I paid £165 for a pair of Z6 for my SV1000.

Personally I would never go for second hand tyres, but when needs must....

JHS racing in Bristol may well ahve some, perhaps?

Thanks to all contributers..
I have been searching around and I've found an awesome collection of tyres at cheap prices.
The deal is that you order them from thevisorshop.com, postage included.
I guess then I just have to find someone to fit them but as long as fitting doesn;t cost more than 70 squid I should be making as the price for a Mez z4 180 rear is 90 quid!
I've used this site a few times for things[ i.e dark visors] and everything has gone really smoothly.
Um, I realise that this sounds like an advert for them but it's not, I'm just chuffed I found cheep tyres!!
Thank you all,
B

DON'T GO FOR A Z4.

[Scoobs]

Give em a bell at least!

[Brand New]

Awesome! that's exactly what I needed to hear, thanks Scoobs!
I'll not be throwing on a Z4 then, and okay okay I'll phone Michel whats their face.
Do you know of a better alternative for a 180 rear then?
Bridgstone, Pirelli have similar alternates, as it's the winter I'm not looking for super sports, but something with the capacity to get me around the Cadnam GP would be nice.
Thanks,

Get yourself a Metzler Z6

but something with the capacity to get me around the Cadnam GP would be nice.
