Some probably won't touch it or make you sign a disclaimer as it arrives faulty.

Best bet is BT45s, but I had ContiGo! tyres which were superb, unsure if they come in your sizes though.

How much for the front and rear I priced up the front £74.95 for a BT45 this can't be right? I need rear also.

Also can the garage who puts them on fix my spacer back in the wheel or I can sue him for failing to fit it safely?


bt45 is dual compound i think, probably about the best small tyre...

as for prices look on the internet oponeo or tyre tec

take to a difference mechanic ?

Why would you want to sue them for something that YOU have done and know is wrong?

I can't find the rear dimensions for my back tyre? 17 inch rim.

There is only an 18 inch rim will it fit if I buy it?

Are they 75quid a piece or come as a pair front and rear? And is it illegal to ride to the fitting place with it around my waist?

Okay, you're not for real!

You need to correct size rear, I know they do that size as the CB400SF has that size.

No, it isn't illegal, see my bodge guide in my sig.

Seems a bit steep think I'll carry on riding until the wires are exposed in the tyre.


Yeah probably is a bit steep when looked at compared to the value of, oh, I dunno, your life Rolling Eyes

Normally I would never condone such a thing, but with your riding skills, you'll be fine.

Jive. Why don't you remove the front brake caliper & disk/drum and sell it to raise money? I'm happy for you to just use the rear.
