Online tyres - recommend me somewhere

[UnknownStuntm...]

Where to buy tyres online please?

Diablo Rosso 2, 150/60 specifically.

(and yes, I searched, saw some necrothreads and thought better of replying to them)

I'm fine with either BlackCircles or Oponeo.

Oponeo are Polish based, and the last tyre I had from them came from somewhere in Eastern Elbonia, but arrived within 48 hours fully (and I mean in detail) tracked all the way until it vanished into the UK courier network and ended up being "delivered to a safe place", i.e. propped against my front wall completely unconcealed behind a small pot plant.

Not their fault though, and they came out a bit cheaper than anywhere in Rip Off Britain.

As above plus www.moto-tyres.co.ik and https://mytyres.co.uk.

Varies which is cheapest. All provide a decent service.

I don't need new tyres just yet, but when I do I anticipate going down this route myself. I'm not likely to be fitting them personally (although I think I do still have a set of tyre levers somewhere from 'last time', about about a million years ago, my days of putting them to use are over, I think).

That being the case, I'm guessing it's better to get a bike workshop to fit tyres rather than some national depot? (or does that depend whether you provide the wheels on or off the bike?)

How do bike workshops view this - do they generally load the fitting price if you don't buy your tyres through them, or is it considered fair game to buy your own wherever?

Came separately within a couple of days from Germany. Was the cheapest place for a set of PR4's at the time, price was the only consideration.

Dot code on the tyres were very recent, as you'd expect on newly released tyres like PR4.

As above, many sites sell cheap tyres. Fitting and balancing however, can be a minefield. Certain companies sell certain tyres at certain times of the year with free fitting. Often, the is is cheaper than buying tyres and getting them done elsewhere. I've used protyre and found them as competitive on price/fitting as any website/finding fitting. Pneus tyres (based in Europe are cheap too.)
Depending on your bike, balancing can also be very important.

Oponeo or Tyreleader for me. Purchased many from both over the last few years. Excellent service from both, with recently manufactured tyres delivered on every occasion.

Malc at my local garage price matches and in a couple of cases gets them cheaper. Worth asking.

.... but maybe you self fit.

So, we all saved money on tyres......fitting and balancing?
Or does a magic tyre fairy drop in Overnight?

Take tyres and wheels to the local, well equipped motorcycle garage for fitting/balancing. £20-30 for a pair.

Still very often much cheaper all-in compared with buying the tyres through the garage, unless you just want to settle for whatever they want to flog you cheap this week.

YMMV, but I know what tyres I want, and I get through enough to make the saving worthwhile.

I've been using tyreleader for the last couple of years. Generally good prices and no delivery charges. I fit my own tyres.
