Anyone got any decent tyre sites?

[Graham88]

Anybody got any sites they can recommend as being good for buying tyres from?

Cheapish/good delivery/prompt etc.

Google brings up lots of companies but I want to go with a reputable company.

Thanks.

Seem to get good press.

There's a guy near me that I get my stuff from, so I don't need to go online.

I normally go onto ebay and find a seller called roundandblack. Pretty much next day courier delivery after payment is made. I'm sure the londeners among you will give better recommendations - but roundandblack are the cheapest i have found.

here's the dude's shop

Cheers guys.

I'm sure off the top of my head that the 636 is 180/55/17, I'll double check before ordering.

Just one thing though, I didn't realise there are 3 different types of Pirelli Diablo. Anyone shed any light on the best one?

Corsa III, Sport or Strada.

Corsa III is the most expensive so I presume the 'sportiest', then short, then strada, am I right?

[Graham88]

OK I can't find any in 120/65/17 for the front.

Will it matter if I got 120/70/17? Not too hot on my knowledge of tyre profiles.

Asking as I've just seen this bargain

120/70 should be absolutely fine - only very marginally taller than a 120/65.

95% certain that all 600cc+ sportsbikes come with 120/70 tyres on the front, I would buy without worrying at all.

EDIT:
That is a fucking bargin and no mistake.

[Graham88]

What's the difference?

Is that the part from the rim to the edge of the tyre?

[Graham88]

The amount you push it, I think that confirms how decent they are.

[D O G]

Not 100% certain it works like that (i.e. like cars do). It is definitely to to with 'height' of the tyre, but whether it is the height of the sidewall or the height from the crown to the rim is something I don't know.


Just looked on moto-tyres.com, which searches for tyres by bike types, and it brings up 120/70 as well as 120/65's for your bike.

It will be fine.
