Not bought tyres for a while and the guy i used to go to is no longer around (always used to get a great deal off him Evil or Very Mad ).

I found this firm and the price seems quite reasonable (free delivery?!)

https://www.tyresonline.net/shop_sub_category.asp?categoryID=43&main=25

Anyone dealt with them before or have a better/trusted site?

There are a large number of threads about where to buy tyres online and there are a few threads specifically about tyresonline.net, I do like how easy it is to find threads by searching. Smile

Try these guys for size , the price includes local fitting . Just bought a Michelin Pilot Road 180/55 ?115.50 fully fitted and balanced.

I've bought all the tyre fitting gear to fit them myself but can never find tyres cheaper than these guys , except for maybe ?3-4 and then it's not really worth the hassle Rolling Eyes

Should have looked in the workshop, found the threads now Embarassed .

anyway, gone from finding no tyres to many, the choice so far is...

Bridgestone BT021 @ 180GBP per pair delivered
Pirelli Diablo Strada @ 174GBP per pair delivered
Continental Force @ 154GBP per pair delivered

I need them for my BMW RT11 which i use for work everyday on the motorway so i want good grip (obviously) but also quite a hard wearing tyre or one thats going to square off too quickly, any suggestions guys?

+1 Thumbs Up Used them loads of time, the only annoying thing is that their courier's depot is in the middle of bloody nowhere and about 25 miles from my house but that's hardly their fault.

Maybe consider BT-023's over 21's? They've recently been superceded.

On the Fazer (Thou) I would highly recommend Pilot Road 2CTs for dry and wet grip as well as longevity. You'll struggle to find any for ?180 though!
