Right -the current situation is:
The local dealer doesn't repair and quoted me £151 for new tyre (plus fitting
). The fact that they told me that my current tyre is no longer made (but is listed on the Bridgestone UK website) doesn't inspire confidence. Add to that that they quoted me for a BT010 rather than the closer-matched BT020 and you'll understand that I ain't going there for tyres. Ever
However, thanks to a recommendation from Kevin Morgan (mogs), it is likely to to be mended (subject to there being no tyre-cord damage) at Pee Gee in Caerphilly this coming Thursday afternoon
Having looked through MCN and Ride, etc over the weeked, I'm really envious of the choice of tyre places in the south East of England. There's nothing like that here. Anyone want to go into business? We'd make a killing
