I will indeed.
I went to a local garage today. He said in my price range avons (ultra I think he said) or michelin (pilot i think) and he said just do the rear tyre. £110 incl fitting. Is that a sensible price?

He said my rear tyre is pretty much square which is why I'm feeling so wobbly and unstable...quite possibly contributed to my skid

Mitch are i find excellent (i have some) and the storm (2's) get excellent reviews on here. I paid 220 fitted for a pair. The rear is always the more expensive due to size.

As to them contributing to your skid. You said you were straight up so that wouldn't be the case. Turning on squared tyres causes a flip flop effect but not accidents like yours unless you were on a slight angle!

I just got a set of pirelli's new angel ST tyres on and they are easily the best tyre I've ever ridden on. Awesome in both wet and dry but partciularly wet. Seems like endless grip. Got the pair fitted and balanced for £210 which was a good deal. They are supposed to be really durable aswell so should last a while. If your budget allows I say take a look at these.

where did you get this kind of a deal? that's a good price

My Michelin PR3 were £230 fitted to loose wheels, but my rear tyre is a 190/55 (On an SSA Triumph Daytona 955i)

As Soulkiss says... just head along to Essential Rubber, and Mick or one of the gang will discuss your needs and quote a good price. Tyres are a pretty personal choice, with many variables which may favour one riding style or another.

been riding on avon storms for ages. they good tyres but since getting road pilot 3's on my cbr 600rr think i will be putting them on the sv650. personal preference although the road pilot 3's are more expensive and have less feeling to them. better in the wet and get more miles out of the rear tyre
