A rear tyre for the TDM delivered and I saw change out of £80!

I had massive problems when I ordered a pair of cans from them and vowed never to use them again but I couldn't argue at this price.

Pirelli Diablo Strada quad compound touring tyre.

My Local place want £105 for the tyre +£12 fitting (loose wheel)

Lol 12 with loose wheel, i paid 15 labour for my tyre change with a wheel which I had never seen come off and experience of bolts being seized like a motherfucker on that bike. Including wheel balance (front only)

p.s. I have no idea who M&P are.

My tyre is trashed and I have been on days recently. Plus if I go from home I can save on the fitting by taking the loose wheel down. What do they charge fitting wise ride in ride out.

Just guessing because I've never actually paid it but I believe it's £10 fitting and balancing to a wheel on the bike.

Ordered a few bits an bobs from them in the past and their website was pretty confusing. Had a new site done now though which is allot easier to find your way around.
