Default Sidcup Motorcycle Tyres

I've just had a pair of Metzeler Rennsports fitted on my sk6 at Sidcup Motorcycle Tyres. They may not be the cheapest place around but I can tell you that they did a good job. They cleaned and greased the spindles, chain adjusters and nuts and even my wheels! They seemed to have good knowledge of their tyres and don't mind chatting. It cost me £230 all in. I've had tyres fitted at other places before and the quality of workmanship has been very poor. I will let you know how good they are when I get them scrubbed in! Would be good to know if anyone else has had these tyres and what you thought of them.

Yeah, I liked them when I was there - easily the most professional people I've seen doing tyres. They even had a look at the brake pads while the wheels were out. I don't mind paying a bit more when the service is tip top.

Agreed....

Sidcup Motorcycle tyres are good. Cost a little bit more than the average but you get a better service.

Nice fellas in there who dont mind a chat.

Just had some Z6's fitted and all's good.

Would defintely go back.

Wheelie_sv650, how much did you pay for your Z6's? Reason I am asking is that
I just made a booking for Z6's (ride in ride out) for £210. I live in the countryside
where there's not much choice so I didn't really bother to seek the cheapest quote.
