Default Where to buy tyres?

Anyone know of a good place to buy tyres? I'm after a set of Pilot Powers. I'm in East Anglia.

Thanks,
Rob

looks like everyones after tyres at the mo. Best bet's big tyre places like 'national tyres' if you have one near you. although for me the price will work out the same to buy online and get fitted at my local shop - which is a bit more convenient as national tyres is about 15 miles away.
If you look on some of my previous posts about avon storms i linked the two cheapest sites somewhere. m&p and busters iirc - i'm going to m&p (although be warned their service is shocking when they screw up...which is often)

try the butchers

i normaly get um from m&p or busters, you just need to have them fitted, which works out cheaper...... if you know someone to fit them,

i think both are doing them for about £120 a pair (depending on size)

Near you? How about SeaStar Superbikes. They are just south of norwich on the A140* (*WARNING May not be true) and Newton Flotman.

Only buy off t'interwebs if you're fitting yourself or you already know a local fitter will fit them for you at a reasonable price. Some seem to want to penalise you as heavily as possible for buying them yourself. So don't go thinking you'll save a packet necessarily by buying them yourself.
