I just need to spend as little as poss but I don't want to ride round on wood for 8'000 mile

So what do you think a set of 020's (£140-£170 i think) or somthing about?

Just phoned Hunters in Newcastle they can fit me a pair of Pirelli Dragon Evo tyres for £139. I've never heard of them anyone else used them?

Evos are good, and £139 is pretty cheap.

D204s were fitted as standard to my ZX6, not wonderful, but not a problem either, at that money they've got to be worth a look.

Thanks for that sid.
D204's are £99.99 + £4.95 shipping and £15 fitting so £120. I just found out that I can get Continental Road Attack fitted for £140-145 so I was thinking of going for them.

So how much did you pay for fitting?

£25 to fit so £130 all in for 2 new tyres, I thought that was a bargain

does anyone know where i can get a set of front and back battle axe bt014's fitted really cheap?? dont mind travelling as it is more mileage to wear them in!!

014s, are you sure? Not the best tyre for an SV it seems according to various reports in the past, though a good tyre nonetheless.

Just ordered 2x Conti Road Attacks fitted for £140. I don't even need to take the wheels off. Cheers For the heads up PoRk ChOp.

A place in spennymoor quoted me £140inc fitting so I got National to price match should have them by Sat. If they were a bit closer I would have gone there. Seemed very cheep had some part worn for £15 and a whole host of other new tyres cheeper than I had seen elsewhere.

Thanks to everyone for there advice.
