Hi All,

Could someone reccomend a few places to get some new rubber fitted in South London? I have tried my local bike shop, Lamba, who are very reliable but for a new set of Z6's fitted i am looking at £230. Is this reasonable or are there places to find a set fitted for cheaper?

Thanks Jools

I just had 2 tyres fitted at Moto Care in Romford, great lads, good service too and reasonable. I had Pilot Road2's fitted for £207

Lamba - you must be just around the corner from me :D

I've always got my tyres from Essential Rubber - http://www.essentialrubber.co.uk/

Although not exactly South London, they are good & their prices are even better

Thanks for the replies. I know the place you mean, had a mate that lived just round the corner before he moved. It is a bit out of my way though and if there is anyone that is a bit nearer it would be nice. Does £230 fitted for a set of Z6's sound like too much?

£230 is a bit pricey. Also get a price for Diablo stradas, essentialy the same tyre can vary in price though

Try also
Watling Tyres - Catford
Sidcup M/C Tyres - Erm, sidcup
But big thumps up to Eseential rubber.

I'm gonna go to sidcup m/c tyres thursday to get mine sorted, I heard great things about them, although they may not be THE cheapest the service it meant to be top notch

Not much help I know, but I'm NOT impressed with FWR who are just south of the river. Scratched rims and goo on the sidewalls of my Gixxer, haven't been back since.

FWR in Kennington, a pair of Z6 should be under 180-170 fitted i think
