Blackcircles probably can supply a decent range.

But surely one of the points of going online is that you don't need to be stuck on one place?
You can find the tyre you want, then find the best place to supply that tyre for you.

My local Watling Tyres gave me the best (not-online) price I could find for m Bandit. I usually go to FWR in Kennington but they were more expensive.

Anywhere that sells tyres should be able to get any tyre from any manufacturer. There are only 2 tyre distributors (to the trade) in this country, and they stock all the big names.

The only exception to this is Maxxis, they are brought into the country by a bike parts distributor.

It well worth asking local places for quotes aswell as the online stores, for example i can match or beat anywhere on price, and most garages up and down the country should be able to aswell or at least supply and fit for a competitive price.

Do you fit tires as well or just supply them?
I'll pm you for a price when I need new tires although this won't be for a while as my current tires are only about a month old.

I supply mate, will be fitting very soon, i'm just getting my tyre machine up and running. I only really supply locally though, the postage usually kills any profit.
