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.

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

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... Last edited by Daimo; 09-06-09 at 08:35 AM. |
