Just noticed a big nail in the rear tyre of my ninja! The bike has done approx 5.5K miles so am thinking of replacing the tyre. Wondering if there is something like mobile bike tyre fitters (like etyre for car tyres) who come to you and change tyres. Laughing
Also any recommendations on tyre. Primarily use the bike for commuting to and from work! Razz

I was told by my mechanic today that Pirelli Diablo Stradas are very good, hard wearing but give good grip. Alternatively Michelin Pilot Roads, Bridgestone BT021's. I'm only going on recommendation and i need to think about commuting tyres myself.

Thanks for all the reponses so far!! Laughing
I found a moblie tyre guy who's coming to change the tyre, but he is advising me to use BT021 instead of BT014 which comes as standard.
Does anyone use them? Any comments? Razz
TIA
