Track Day Tyre Stockists
 
I'm coming back to the UK for a long weekend and was thinking of picking up some tyres.

Does anyone know a stockist who holds track day tyres in stock?

Geographically southern England preferred, I'lll be heading Dover-Reading-Oxford-Herefordshire and back, so antone near M20/M25(either side)M4/A34/M40/M50 is good for me. Possibly southern end of M1.

Any help appreciated, my internet searching has failed, showing up only 1 potential supplier....

If you like avons and need them reet fresh then cambrian in aberystwyth are pretty helpful, sure they could forward some to a dealer or to wherever you're staying.

Cheers for the above link, I'll ring them tomorrow.

YC - For the Ring bike I'm sticking with BT003s as I know what pressure they and my bike like at the Ring, there may be better or cheaper tyres out there but I can't be bothered going through the whole learning cycle, better the devil you know etc.

It'd probably be Friday late lunch/early afternoon or Tuesday afternoon if I go there, depends on what they've got in stock/prices etc.

I've always found these people fairly useful, but it will mean a trip into London, unless you ring ahead and get them to post them to your destination.

I really dislike FWR. If you're gonna venture into London, then go to Essential Rubber :thumbsup:

I've found a stockist over here who is cheaper than the UK result :D

Plus he'll fit the tyres for free to loose wheels......

..and close enough for an extended lunch time visit. I'm happy :thumbsup:

Plus it's a race shop, so lots of trinkets for me to drool over!!
