Where to get tyres from?

[t121anf]

So I need some new tyres, garage says it's cheaper for me buy and him fit, which is normally the case.

So where are people buying their tyres? Been a while since I bought any and then it was via gixerjunkies.

Thinking Pilot Power 3s at the minute as my bike is just a summer toy.

[t121anf]

Anyone use

https://www.oponeo.co.uk

Seem cheap
https://www.oponeo.co.uk/moto-tyre/michelin-pilot-power-3

Not sure what the price difference is other than delivery speed.

£168 vs £216 from blackcircles

[Fladdem]

I am very tempted by oponeo, but I don't know whether to do it or not.

Do it for me?

Will ring them tomorrow, garage told me about them, said they sell for cheaper than he can buy for.

I wouldn't recommend Openeo, unless you can afford to wait until they decide when they're going to send them even when you've paid extra for their fast delivery.

Should you wish to ask them why your tyre hasn't arrived, expect a rude and abrupt email in return.

In short, fcuk Openeo right off if you want good service.

I've used black circles in the past and have no complaints with them.

would recommend to anyone

[ride_to_die]

I've used Tyretec, Tyre leader, Opponeo and Camskills before for both car and bike tyres. Tyretec and tyre leader seem to be the cheapest and have had no issues. I ordered a set of tyres for the bike from opponeo, front was delivered Friday, rear delivered Wednesday after. Odd.

Openeo sell old stock, I allways make sure my tyres are no older than a year. Last place I bought from was a garage up in scotland, £200 for six month old m7rr's.

TyreLeader were way cheaper than anyone else, when I bought last year, the tyres weren't old stock, but they took nearly two weeks to arrive, so if you're not in a hurry, they're worth it.
Having said that, I just received a set this morning from an Ebay seller, they were the tyres I needed and I just went with the cheapest I could find. Just finished fitting them myself 30 mins ago, according to the Dot number they're 6 months old, they took 3 days to arrive.

fast delivery and cheap

For what it's worth, I'm happy to pay the little extra it costs to buy from my local tyre place, they're decent guys and often do little extras like give the brakes a free clean up while the wheels are off, plus are a fountain of good advice on things like best pressures for certain conditions or what not.

Rather pay the extra £20 a time or whatever you could save to the dealer and still have them there as a business. As it stands they've had to lop off a full time guy in exchange for a part time skivvy in the summer months.

Oponeo every time for me. I search around for the best price and they nearly always win.

Never had a tyre older than 6 months old from them, unlike my local motorbike dealer.

[Accuhaler]

My last few tyres I've brought from mytres.co.uk I'm not sure about you guys with with bigger tyres, then my small 125 but I can't gumble at £21 for front and £29 for back tyre.

Deilvery is from DPD so, So you get that NeoPost service. SMS/email of possiable hour window for delivery and Driver tracking.

The tyres, came from a warehouse in Germany, ordered late the friday, received email had been shipped monday afternoon, had new tyres wednesday morning

[Anthrax1039]

https://www.tyreleader.co.uk Seems to have decent pricing on stuff that I found before. Yet to use them myself though.

Ebay always cheapest for new tires. I usually buy 120 fronts new as part worns don't have enough tread depth to be worth it.

I've bought many part worns - for 110/140 its brilliant, pair of almost new PR2 scrubs for 40 quid.
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371376173670

120/180's track scrubs cost a bit more, usually more wear.. works out same value as new commuting tires, but with extra stickyness needing to be changed twice as often.

[.Chris.]

I've used Oponeo twice with no problems, but I wasn't in any hurry so used the standard delivery option. In both cases the tyres were new stock, only a few months old. I'd use them again without hesitation, unless I was in a real hurry in which case I'd probably use a shop where you can pay your money and get the tyre there and then.
