Default Where to buy tyres in Leicestershire?

Evening Orgers.

I'm going to need a front tyre soon and wondered if anyone could recommend a place to get one from and fitted. (I did do a quick search but didn't come up with anything).

If it helps, I live in Market Harborough so there is Midland Super Bikes, but I also work in Leicester.

The rear has got plenty of life in it and it's a Bridgestone 020, so thinking about sticking one on the front?

Cheers all.

Nick

Indeedy, there may still be a few 020's out there but go with an 021

Although, i dont recommened Bridgestone, never using them again after the hassle i had with my front 021 and they denied there was a fault with it, go with something like a Michelen (sp) pilot road 2, dual compound just like the 020's 021's but obviously you'll be mixing brands, how long has the rear got left would you say

Thanks for the replies.

The rear was new last year when I bought the bike and I've done about 3k. Is it a big no-no mixing brands?
