Theres this wonderful thing called google.

Also if you are to stupid to figure that out, phone up a garage that sells tyres and tell them the model of your bike or the tyre size and they will tell what ones fit and how much they are.

Shock, horror.

Don't know specific shops but most of the big players do this sort of thing. I just search for the recommended tyre then.

Sorry mate but theres no need to start calling people stupid, Its a genuine question, and tyres are often cheaper on the net so I don't really see whats stupid about it? Also this is my first bike and I don't know anywhere that sells bike tyres.

I went on the metzler site but they don't list my bike! Tried bikes with the same size wheels, but they did't have any recomended tyres! I went onto avons site as well and searched for the roadrunner but they don't do the right size anymore, I can get cheap chinese ones but cheap and chinese made tyres on a bike sounds like a bad idea to me!!!

try MPS or M&P, both allow you to put in the tyre size

I'll even do it for you.
MPS - Pirelli city demon 2.75- £15, 3.00- £23.

or M & P ME22 2.75 £18, 3.00 £21.

Just the quickest ones I found.
