Good Price for a rear Avon Storm

more than what you have been quoted, £198 I think (loose wheels)

Around £200 was the average quote for me it was just the big tyre warehouses /internet quoteing the cheaper prices. locals couldn't compete.

Try protyre if there is one close to you, I didnt get a quote yet but apparently they're pretty good http://www.protyre.co.uk/ouroutlets.aspx

I got my Storms just over a week ago for a touch under £200 ride in/ride out.

Well happy with them so far (only done 500 miles on them). The difference compared to the D220's that were on the bike is night and day, though saying that the D220's were on for close to 3000 miles with a previous owner who mustn't have liked corners very much...

Woop fitted today, ride home was a bit slippy but can't wait to get them scrubbed in properly and test them out. Coleshill tyres was good, 190 pounds, quick fitting, no fuss...

is it me or does the tread on the front look like its backwards?

post a pic, you could have got a knuckle dragger of a tyre fitter who didn't follow the wheel/tyre direction indicators

Yes it does IIRC, but there is a direction arrow on the side wall, so check that is correct. If you not sure, post a picture like Dave numbers said.

yeah direction arrows are the right way but it looks so strange!

yup ... thats correct... they are a reverse tread tyre... apparently it clears the water quicker, which i must admit is true.. there is also a slight 'tip in' at about half lean angle which can be a bit nerving at times, but they just keep gripping and gripping.
