yup.........

andys tyres in porth

i get them from m&p or busters, and he fits them, i dont think he is too happy to do it, as he does not make much money as he is not selling you tyres.
although it may work out just as cheap to get them from him?

i think he charges
7 quid to change a tyre if you take the wheels in, or 10-15 if he has to remove the wheels, give him a ring

Motorcycle Tyre Shop
Gyfeillon Rd

go through pontypridd, and head to the rhonda.

its only about 1 mile out of pontypridd, past a petrol station on your right, keep going, go through a speed camera and its left just after, its next to a travis perkins.

Cwmbran Motorcycles and Dragon Honda are worth a spin although Cwmbran Motorcycles wanted ?20 to fit and balance a tyre i bought from Busters. Discount Tyres by Cwmbran stadium told me ?7 to have it fitted but not balanced.

Two places near me, one is Paul Green tyres.. always been very good with me, though hes started to charge people for taking the tyres off etc... as most places have,
I generaly use Wayne Bowens in the Rhondda... they let me take the wheels off there myself, so I dont pay for the fitting then.. just got back from there now actualy changing a front.. had to take my front stand over as they had nothing that would fit it !

plus what tyres you looking for as well ?
