Good place for tyres these days - SV650.org

Hi Folks,
Had me trusty steed out for a few spins again recently and am in dire need of new tyres. Have read some good things about Michelin Pilot Power 2CTs, so thought I would give them a go.

Anyone noticed any good deals on these? West/central locations prefered, just in case I need to go back for some reason.

Will probably end up in MOM for convenience...

I haven't used 2CT's, but after using Strathern Tyres in Crieff that's where I head for for my tyres.
They do a fast efficient service for the right price.

It's a nice wee run through there.

Drop the bike off, go for a coffee and they call you when it's done.
Last year I got the "Your bike is ready call" 45 minutes after dropping it off with them.

can you get them through work ? my front storm 2 ultra has just cost me £70 inc fitting and balancing

I'm using the Pilot Road 3's. I used powers but found that they didn't last as long and we're that much better overall.

I generally get my tyres from Jim Allan

Pilot Road 3's were £235 fitted to loose tyres, Tosh at Strathearn wanted £265 fitted to the bike...

i am glad someone has put this post up as i will need new tyres on my bike when i get back.

It may be a bit far for you but DM Motorcycle Tyres in Dundee is really good and I used him before. Geordie always has special offers on so may be worth having a look there.

Purchase online at www.blackcircles.com or www.mytyres.co.uk and get fitted at Hugh Adams motorcycles, Croft Garage, Tarbolton, www.bikesandquads.co.uk

£10 a loose wheel, £20 leaving bike in, take old tyre away yourself.
