Re: Good tyre place.
I use http://www.motorcycletyresuk.com/workshop.htm in Harold Wood, prices are competitive and fitters did a good job.

Re: Good tyre place.
you're only 10 miles or so from Essential rubber, great bunch of guys, I've used them for several years now, never had a bad deal, in fact will be shooting there Monday myself.
Cheers Mark.

Re: Good tyre place.
Dipper i stuck my head in there to get a front changed last year and remember it being a bit pricy compared to Oxford.
Mark is that the right link? Hideout Leather? If it is i will give them a call tomorrow. I want to try a pair of Ultra Storm 2's. Thanks for the help guys! Andres |

Re: Good tyre place.
The link Mark has posted is not the one he intended, Hideout will sell you leathers but not tyres.

Re: Good tyre place.
 I seem to have fallen foul of some mischief making, I did post a link to hideout in this thread, but as you'll see my link goes to the address page, so it's not a copy of that, however Serdna's link is correct.Cheers Mark.

Re: Good tyre place.
I also used http://www.motorcycletyresuk.com/index2.htm last year and got some Ultra Storms 2 fitted. FIrst new set of tyres on the bike so can't say how they compare to other places I'm afraid.
Not far down the A12 is Universal and my husband and friends often use them. THe building they are in looks a bit shabby as they are moving soon but they've always offered good service. http://www.universal-tyres.co.uk/CHE...06TZ&to=CM26BN

Always use these guys. They only do bike tyres. Dont get all the bull **** you get from some places. The tall guy with glasses knows more about a single tyre than you can poke a stick at. He gets a full 300 page report on one tyre and digests it and know what tyre will A) do for you and your bike and B) explain it in idiot proof words so you know how it handles and its best conditions. |

Re: Good tyre place.
Used them both..good service and quick ( ring to check what they have in stock).. last set came from essential and worked out cheaper. Both ride in ride out.
