That's a pretty standard price BBC. As suggested, try Spannerman as he'll do you a much better deal than that I'm sure.

Never buy tyres from a 'bikeshop'.
As they (usually) have a small turnover for such things there will be little, if any, discount from the tyre manufacturers RRP, typical shop prices are 30-40% under the quoted figures.

As folk above said, try Spannerman. He's in Kirkby, just a few miles North of Nottingham on the M1. Will fit and balance 020s or Continental Road Attacks front and rear for less than half the price you were quoted up North. And you get free biscuits and coffee...

The tyre & exhaust centre in Leyburn is pretty good too... Give them a shout :wink:

lloyd honda in carlisle fitted my z6's front and rear ride in ride out for 185

so not all dealers are rip offs

penrith motorcycles were very similar but 20 miles nearer to you BBC

Last place i got my tyres from were here. http://www.tst-tyres.co.uk/Deals.htm

Price quoted is fitted to loose wheels, not sure what they charge for ride in ride out. Don't know if thats local 2 U.
