Cheap(er) Tyres?

I've just been to my local shop to enquire about fitting a set of Conti Road Attacks to me bike and I was a little taken aback by the quote of £210 fitted, ride in ride out. I'd understand if it were top line Dunlops or Pirellis.

Now I can get the tyres for £140 delivered and fit them myself but I don't have balancing facilities.

Do ATS and the like do bike wheel balancing?

Is there anywhere within the region (preferably at the end of a nice winding road ) that can do them a little more "reasonably"?

Where do you get yours?

cheers,
Carl

There are cheap BT020's and 021's on the tinternet at M&P(i think) that i put a thread up about. £150 for 020's £165 for 021's

i paid the same £210 four a pair of metzler z6's from woosters ride in ride out and that was cheaper than anyone else in the west yorkshire area i thought it was expensive until i phoned about 7 other places all ranging from £230 at JMS sowerby bridge to £280 in manchester

Check out B&C Performance Tyres in Farnworth, Bolton, just off the A666. I use them all the time and a few of the other guys here have too, all to rave reviews. Not sure how far away they are from you, but its nice weather and could be a good ride out too! Call them on 01204 577333 and tell them Mark with the SV recommended you.

Wot M65 said! I think they charge £10 per wheel for tyre fitting if you take th wheels in loose.
