Resonable prices from National Tyres :D
 

I went down there today and got a PR2 180/55 section fitted for £129. I know some of you on here have been ripped off so I thought id share this. The SV's PR2's are £10 cheaper. I also got the back filled with ultra seal for £20 and the front re seated and re valved for £10, had a slow leak...

it only took 20 mins to change the rear, but I watched them work and chatted ******** with them while they worked.

Check the site out, here is a link to the tyre's available.

Barnsley branch is supposed to be a bike specialist, but Doncaster isn't - even they admit it.

Aye I got it done at Barnsley. Ive had all my many tires from them. Great tbh. :cool:

Re: Resonable prices from National Tyres :D
 

I got mine form National in Edinburgh, only 1 branch does them and you have to take your wheels off if you want them to do it they won't do that for you. I got the tyres there and then took them to Saltire Suzuki to fit, saved £30 over what Saltire wanted but they said themselves they can't match because they aren't a big company, fair enuf. National were great and quick to deliver

Hmmm at Barnsley they will do it all for you. Take the wheels off for you for a £10 (£5 per wheel) which is resonable. I think that is a thing on the side though to be honest. :eek:

The issue is that some National Tyres garages aren't insured for putting bikes on paddock stands, so they can't offer the ride-in-ride-out facility that others can.

I remember calling around ages ago, and the local National garage told me that they'd love to, but they're not insured.

Still £119 (for an SV PR2) is a bit steep for me. Knock another £10 off & you'll be about the price I pay.

Yea thats why I think this is a thing on the side. Its a shame this is the case though as im sure they would make a decent amount of money out of the extra business. :rolleyes: There were 2 other bikes there when I went getting them done there...

Re: Resonable prices from National Tyres :D
 

Slightly OT, but anyhow...

You can always tell the quality of workmanship and decency of prices by the number of other bikes there. :)

The tyre shop I use always has 3-4 other bikes either being done before me, or waiting for me to finish. There's also generally 5-6 cars there either being changed or waiting.
