Hi all i am after a new set of tyres for my curvy. Not sure whether to go for Dunlop Roadsmarts, Pirelli Angels or Avon Ultras?
Any of them matched more to the SV or are they all good?

I am on the wirral, does anyone know anywhere in this area?

Thanks

Carlos

can't really help on the location thing as I'm a little far away, however I've tried both the Angels and Storm Ultra's, both are good , but I prefer the Ultra's as a personal choice, but the Angels are something I'd fit again if I couldn't get my first choice.

Cheers Mark.

I take it that's on your KTM? I was wondering if there were any tyres more suited to the SV650. I am new to riding so just want to get the best setup possible so i can get my confidence up. Thanks for advice, I think i am swaying more to the Ultras now...

yeah I've got Storms on both the superduke and the S4, but I've try both on a curvy actually and thinking about it both of their predecesors to (those being the original storms and the Diablo strada's).

Cheers Mark.

Look in the tyres section I think luckypants had posted the details of some tyre places over your way/ north Wales

There are a couple of places Crewe way if that's not too far. I can give the number for F&B tyres near Crewe and Quiff uses another place nearby. Also you might try R.S. Tyres in Wallasey, (used to be known as Hondatech until the copyright lawyers got hold of him) he serviced my VFR and put on a new front Storm, price was OK and service was first class. He works from a small garage behind a house.

F&B tyres, Wheelock near Crewe - 01270760795
R.S. Tyres, Wallasey - 01516372221 (not used him for a couple of years so number may not be current)

loads of places, Bathers in Birkenhead, RS Tyres as LP mentioned (Paul, good buddy of mine), another I cant remember the name of right now. Personally I fit my own.

There ya go... buy the tyres online then give Flymo a bottle of Southern Comfort to fit them for you!

Nice one. I called Bathers but they don't take wheels off. He said the only ride in/ride out garage was Buckley tyres. I'll enjoy the ride up to there anyway!
Thanks for advice. Also think i'm going for the Angels...
