Tyreleader are the cheapest I have found. Mail order is free or you pay for express.
I use them all the time.
Some bike shops can be 'competitive' if you consider a roll in roll out service (If they have the tire in stock).
No sitting at home waiting for a DH-Effing-El van. ____________________ Disclaimer: The comments above may be predicted text and not necessarily the opinion of MCN. |

I have money, but I'm not paying 279 for fucking black round rubber.
Think the most I've spent is 210 on M7RRs fitted... |

You think £279 is bad, I got raped for £334.40 getting new tyres for my Brutale at short notice.
I got a bad puncture two days before I was due to ride to the Alps, and my regular place (Burwin motorcycles on Essex road) couldn't remove the rear nut. They referred me to Rosso Corse in Bethnal Green, just off Globe Road, Ducati specialists.
I didn't have a choice. I needed new tyres.
Turns out they gave me Pilot Power 3 rear instead of PR4 that I asked for, and when I pointed out that PP3 is cheaper than PR4 anywhere you look that sells both, chap said actually they charged me for PP3!
So I strongly recommend you don't go anywhere near Rosso Corse.
(And my rear nut wasn't seized or anything like it; it just needed more time with a close fitting socket and an air gun. Torque spec on the rear wheel nut is just short of 200Nm.) ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4

The first time my third SH300 was stolen was in Bethnal Green, and it was found just south of Mile End, so probably. ____________________ Bikes: S1000R, SH350; Exes: Vity 125, PS125, YBR125, ER6f, VFR800, Brutale 920, CB600F, SH300x4
