Default Best price for fitted Storm Ultras in Norwich area?

Hi All,

I was in C J Balls (Hales) today and got a quote for Avon Storm Ultra 2's fitted on my SV650 and their best price was £258...

Do you know of anywhere good that will do it for less in the area? If it's a while-u-wait service I am willing to travel 15-20miles max depending on price...

Is circa £250 about the going rate?

Just getting ahead of myself....I'd like to know where the best places are

Saying that I am tempted to change them sooner rather than later from what I have heard, most people that have waited until their current stock tyres are worn down to change them wished they had made the switch up front...good tyres are the best upgrade for a bike...

p.s. nice to see you're working hard like me

I say you keep your current tyres and just give me the money instead

I'm always working hard!

Me too. Mine are running low now (I bet the rear will stand up by its self again!) and I've been looking for a local tyre place. My current set came from a very local independent garage and his service was excellent but I think his stock options are limited. I'll give both a call and see who wins.

Are fitters generally okay with you bringing your own tyres? I could expect some will just say no...?

Black Circles have deals with the usual names of tyres fitters - I had some fitted to a car a few years ago and the "Black Circle Depot" near to me was actually STS Tyre Pros in Watton!
