I went to Feltham tyre Centre just off the bath road, they're good lads in there, cant remember how much they charge for rear but I just got my front tyre changed - wheels on - for £95 inc fitting?? Dont know if you'll find any better or not, you could try WLS in Bedfont...

HGB Tyres in Rislip, Just make sure they don't rip you off. Get a quote before going and make sure you tell them "that's the price I was quoted" BEFORE they do any work.

At least they're on your doorstep. Other option is Ride In Tyres in Reading _ really decent bloke.

Gary (GS Motorcycle Tyres) is great, his is a mobile service so he'll come to you. You'll probably pay a little more for the convenience but he's worth a call as he might be able to do you a deal.

Tried HGB and they were asking 30 quid more than Colin Collins! Had a bit of an attitude too. Have read on here before that they're not great.

I sort of hoped by the way I suggested them that you may realise that they can have a sort of "take it or leave it" attitude.

They've been around for years though, so they must be doing something right...

Well they're part of HGB and Daytona bikes in Ruislip Manor.

Make the effort and get down to George White in Slough. I had front and rear BT020's for about £190 with friendly service.
As I was riding home I noticed that the front had a slight wobble. Called them and they asked if it was possible to come back to the shop. I went back straight away and they had a look, apparently the front needed "dynamically" balancing as there was so much weight added.
I know that it was their job to correct the problem but, they were so "customer orientated" about the whole thing and that was the thing which impressed me.

That's what I'm doing, cheers. Although a mechanic who works there and lives near me is taking the bike there for me. Hopefully the tyres will be on their way to fully scrubbed in when I pick her up!

Wraysbury Tyres in Chertsey - http://www.wraysburytyres.co.uk/ - call them for a quote. Have always been the best price for me. They look after your rims too!
