Tyre websites.
 

I'll use the search in a minute ;)

Anyone know any handy Bike tyre shops online so I can compare some prices?

Re: Tyre websites....
 

FWR is a good place to compare against i find. http://www.fwr.co.uk/

Fairly basic website tbh but its got prices and they do deals on pairs etc.

Re: Tyre websites....
 

Good service from this mob too. I like, been using them recently.

Re: Tyre websites....
 

Just dont get any work done there - including Tyre fitting.

If in London, just keep on going until you get to Essential Rubber....... I have actually done this, 2-up with a flat rear on the Z750

Re: Tyre websites....
 

yeh i always compare prices on the FWR website before i call Essential and make sure they have the tyres in.

I presume you then get them fitted by some local place to you?
I'm curious how much you get charged for fitting them and if you take you bike in or just the wheels.

Only cos i had some tyres fitted yesterday and for the first time ever it was tyres i took with my bike to gte fitted and i just wanna know if i paid a "normal" price of if he charged me a lot, thats all :lol:

Re: Tyre websites....
 

Busters are doing some cracking deals on tyres at the mo. Also try Mytyres as well.

Re: Tyre websites....
 

Cheers Vin, dads just mailed me the busters link.

Will be fitting them privatly after some shoddy work (not the issue, the attitude about it was though...) by Watling Tyres....

Re: Tyre websites....
 

here's another for you

www.blackcircles.com

Re: Tyre websites....
 

See, now I've only had good service from Watlings in Gravesend. Anyway, someone else has mentioned blackcircles. I use them for the car. Also, try sidcup motorcycle tyres. Good service and the offer a RIRO service as well. Very handy if you're a mechanical numpty:D

Well, Busters have cheesed me right off..

Tyres in stock, ordered Thursday...
Monday comes, no tyres, ring up.
"oh theres a 5-7 working day delivery on these"
Well why didn't you f-ing say something when ordering
"its in the terms and conditions"
Great... When will they be here.
"not till the end of the week"

So check the site this morning, find some more tyres, call them again.
Want to change my order to xxxx.
"oh we don't actually have any tyres in that size in stock at all"
So theres no way i'll have these tyres by next weekend even though I ordered them last thursday.
"nope"
CANCELS!!!!!!!!

Jdub, taken a chunk off the VXR alloy (19"), didn't notice till 2 weeks later when washing it. Oh they nicked all the metal caps and replaced them with sh1tty plastic ones too. Taken chunk out my SV wheel, now taken a chunk out of my Bandit (when new). I went back all calm and polite, see where it got me... No-where.. They actually laughed AT me and banged on about how someone else had tried to take them to court and that person lost and it aint their problem....

They've also scratched my swinging arm.

I spent a lot of money in there. I went down all calm as didn't see how going in all mental would help me, and they actually LAUGHED at me.. I will never ever use them again.

So back looking, by saturday...
