lol, i ran over a drill bit once, riding through town. I was on my way to get the bike MOT'd, turned up and they checked my tyres as you do, and there was this drill bit there, it had entered from the top, burst through the side-wall and put a chip into my wheel, without me noticing or deflating the tyre lol
I just got a new tyre for my Gs500 and that was around the £70 mark including fitting.

Sounds about right to me.

I can get charged up to £100 inc fitting for a tyre on the ER5.

Removing the wheel yourself and carrying it in will save you about a tenner.

It cost me £100 for a front tyre and fitting of that and a rear i already had to loose wheels. £70 isnt bad for a new front fitted.

What?

£70 would get you a decent Pirelli
£90 would get you the stickest tire around
