Re: Good Price for a rear Avon Storm
They seem to have knocked a lot of the best deals on the head though sadly.
Though they appear to be selling a viper supersport front for £30!!!

Re: Good Price for a rear Avon Storm
If you are going to buy tyres online, please phone the local place you're planning on having them fitted for a price for fitting tyres you bring in yourself. Many bike shops including the one I use charge much more if they don't supply the tyres as it's still their time, their equipment, and often them disposing of the old tyre.
Many places make little or no money on the fitting, and make it all on selling the tyres, so they're not going to offer the same price if you bring that part along with you. That's not to say you can't work a good deal out by getting your own tyres online, but you do need to make sure you're aware of all the costs before you buy. Jambo

Re: Good Price for a rear Avon Storm
For comparison, my local guy charges a tenner to fit tyre and balance (I take wheel off).
Seems pretty reasonable (to him) for c10 minutes of his time and 75p worth of valve core, tyre soap and lead.

Re: Good Price for a rear Avon Storm
Same rates here Chris but then I made a bead breaker and balancer and started fitting them myself. All my tyres come from M&P/Busters when they are on special offer. I just store them till needed. Cheaper in the long run.

Re: Good Price for a rear Avon Storm
I keep meaning to make a bead breaker, I just use big vice, but that's in the shed and it's a PITA carrying wheels down to the shed.

Re: Good Price for a rear Avon Storm
Pirelli Diablo Strada £135 a pair from Busters. Sounds like a bargain.
