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.

Im not 100% if they all do bikes, just ring and ask and you should be A OK.


Hope this helps. Sorry to those who it is too late... At least youll know for next time.

Cheers,

Nick

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

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.

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. There were 2 other bikes there when I went getting them done there...

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.
