If you want it fixed on the spot then The Cavalry is your man, freephone 0800 956 7594, or mobile 07974 260311. Otherwise Sid Squid would say the only place to go is Essential Rubber.

If you can afford a new set of tyres then no, if you cant, then yes. Dont even ask what tyres you should get ANYthing is better than the stock tyres, so you will notice an imense difference no matter what you put on.

Choose from

Bridgestone 020's/010's
Conti road attacks
Metzeler Road tec Z6's

They seem to be the 3 flavours

mmm.....

My wallet is suffering from exhaustion!!! motorbike, helmet, gear, insurance... now new tyres.. Naively I thought that I was going to have a month for recovery!!!

And of course there is no way to get away with just changing the rear one, have to be both.... [tapping on to the table] mmmpppffffffff

I think that I am going to stick to the infamous Dunlop, I still have long way to get the best of them (if there is any best) and, at the pace I am doing miles, they will not last more than a few months... besides it is still summer...
