Default Re: Track Day Tyre Stockists

if you can tim, try steve sirrels in leeds I know thats a bit far from the south but they may deliver to an address down there. They stock part worn tyres of all sizes, dirt cheap because you dont techinically buy them, you recive them in exchange for a donation towards the air ambulance.

I'll second this. FWR replaced the tyres on my last ZZR1100 and left two caliper bolts loose and screwed up the balancing of the front wheel so much it felt like I was riding a pneumatic road hammer. I'd ridden slowly through London on new tyres and the hammering only showed itself once I was on the M1 doing 60mph upwards going home. It was too late to go back to FWR that evening, so I chose to carry on to home and sort it when I got there. Next day I took the wheel to my local bike tyre place and he removed 120g of weights and stuck it on his balancing machine only to find it needed no balancing weights at all.

I've used Essential Rubber before and found them very useful, knowledgeable, helpful and quick
