How much for used tyres?
Hi all,
Just bought myself a k4 and really happy with it, just discovered a screw in the tyre though. Opting to change the tyre and was just wondering if i went to a tyre fitter how much should they be charging for a used tyre. Ball park figure. Im new to bikes and dont want to be mugged off because of it. Cheers Josh |

Re: How much for used tyres?
Depends on the tyre. Generally it's not common for garages to sell used tyres on bikes.

Re: How much for used tyres?
I've never heard on it, at garages. I know my breaker sells tyres, but most stick them on a rim for a rebuild or lay up.
It maybe worth doing both with new, if the front is looking low

Isn't a plug normally around a tenner?

Re: How much for used tyres?
Then again I live in London so everything is generally exspensive. But that is what I paid last time and I've had no issue with it since. Mine was a killer as it happened on the way to mot and I got a screw in the tyre.

Re: How much for used tyres?
If you don't take the wheel off then your going to pay extra.
