Track Day Tyre Stockists
I'm coming back to the UK for a long weekend and was thinking of picking up some tyres.
Does anyone know a stockist who holds track day tyres in stock? Geographically southern England preferred, I'lll be heading Dover-Reading-Oxford-Herefordshire and back, so antone near M20/M25(either side)M4/A34/M40/M50 is good for me. Possibly southern end of M1. Any help appreciated, my internet searching has failed, showing up only 1 potential supplier.... |

Re: Track Day Tyre Stockists
If you like avons and need them reet fresh then cambrian in aberystwyth are pretty helpful, sure they could forward some to a dealer or to wherever you're staying.

Re: Track Day Tyre Stockists
Cheers for the above link, I'll ring them tomorrow.
YC - For the Ring bike I'm sticking with BT003s as I know what pressure they and my bike like at the Ring, there may be better or cheaper tyres out there but I can't be bothered going through the whole learning cycle, better the devil you know etc. |

Re: Track Day Tyre Stockists
It'd probably be Friday late lunch/early afternoon or Tuesday afternoon if I go there, depends on what they've got in stock/prices etc.

Re: Track Day Tyre Stockists
I've always found these people fairly useful, but it will mean a trip into London, unless you ring ahead and get them to post them to your destination.

Re: Track Day Tyre Stockists
I've found a stockist over here who is cheaper than the UK result
Plus he'll fit the tyres for free to loose wheels...... ..and close enough for an extended lunch time visit. I'm happy Plus it's a race shop, so lots of trinkets for me to drool over!! |
