Tyres - Where to buy - Which to buy

[binge]

Right, ive had my bike a month now. As crazy as it sounds, ive covered about 2000 miles on it and am due a new rear tyre at some point. Its just off the wear bar Lines.

Ive also got a puncture on the front. Its loosing about 10psi overnight.

Now my question is, Where is the cheapest place I can buy a set of tyres.

The rear is a 150/60 17. And Ive no idea what the front is off the top of my head.

I work for a tyre fitting garage, but we have no Inside source to any Motorbike tyres. Only for a car. So unfortunately I cant get any sort of staff discount on tyres for the bike. However, I still cant justify paying Wattling tyres £130 to fit a tyre to the back of my bike. and X amount of ££ for the front.


So where do you guys recommend for buying Cash and Carry tyres at a decent price.

If you want them really cheap, buy some used race scrubs. But they don't last very long, so it's really just a temporary fix.

Otherwise there are a few websites, but personally I just use my local bike mechanic out of ease. I'm currently running BT020s and they're simply fantastic, if you're not looking for ultimate grip but enough to be feasibly useful on the road.
