road 2's ????

[bacon]

Fair price i should expect to pay for a pair of pilot road 2's fitted?

is £200 a tad optamistic? its for a b1 zx6r btw, 70 profile front

[Devils Advocate]

^^that`s what they usually cost me and i`ve had them twice now.
Suppose it depends if you actually buy the tyres from the place that are fitting them.If you buy them cheaper elsewhere then take them with you it becomes more expensive overall. (iro 225-300).

I just got quoted £252 for a set for a Hornet on Saturday Unfortunately, there are only 2 bike shops in my town, with one being a Honda Main Dealer, so rather limited for choice (fortunately though, they're at opposite ends of my street )

Still, if I could get them cheap enough elsewhere, it might be worth seeing what the garage would charge to fit them.

[bacon]

local ride in ride out service, wheel balance etc as well

£240 a pair

so i went to the honda dealer down the road, and he quoted the same...

[deanoet]

Round and Black

Used them a few times, very helpful, if they dont have the size listed just ring them up as stated on their ebay shop


Honda will charge around a tenner a wheel to fit. will prob put new valve on as well which was £2.50 last time i got one done

I paid £240 ride in ride out for my Hayabusa a few months ago. I could have got it cheaper if I really tried I guess!

Tyres sure have got expensive since I last changed mine.

[Devils Advocate]

These ones aren`t all that bad when you consider that for £200-250 you get somewhere iro of 10,000 miles for your money.I only need to change once every 12-18 months

[Psychonaut]

Holy shit whats going on with the price of rubber. just been phoning around brum for a set and was quoted £260 - £295. I paid £176 fitted march last year in Dudley (now they want £100 more).
These bike shops are seriously taking the piss these days.

Bought them from busters in the end £199 and will have to get streetbike to fit for £10 per rim (unless anyone knows somewhere cheaper in the midlands)

i would do that, but im not sure how to carry a pair of tyres while getting to the garage to have them fitted haha

guess im just going to have to bite the bullet and hand over £240, robbing bastids!!

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

Tell me about it.

Just paid £250 for a pair of Racetecs, + £20 fitting.

Expensive, but not as bad as Supercorsas, and cheaper than most of the online shops.

At least I can get some money back by selling the scrubs on there at the moment.

£245 fitted in the end, dunno where the extra £5 came from, meh

12 miles done on them so far on way home, going fairly easy will slowly but surely eat the chicken strips in the next few miles

but so far so good

[Luke_Retrofly]

£105 to have a road 2 front and fitted.

[sickpup]

Tyre prices are going up fast. I can remember 6 years ago when I could get a new set of tyres 180/120 fitted for less than £140, now you are looking at £200+. Even the prices on commuter tyres are going up fast.

[ZaphodBeeble]

Pirelli Angel ST's will be on offer at most stocking dealers. We're fitting them for £199 ride in ride out with balancing at the moment. They're pretty good tyres, I'd say on par with the Road 2's. We still stock road 2's but yes they're expensive now at about £240 a pair fitted.
