Looking online for the past hour or so and all seem to be the same with little difference in price. Anyone have a particular site that you're loyal to? Known for being the cheapest?

Cheers guys
Love Lou

Front - 90/90-19
Rear- 110/90-17


They currently have Pirelli MT60's on which are awful!
Looked at the Bridgestone BT45 for the rear but not sure if it's wise to have odd tyres?

I had the same size tyres on a CLR125. I had an Avon Roadrider rear and a BT45 front. Never had an issue.

Those sizes are a PITA! Best place I went was Watling tyres, they bought and fitted cheaper than ebay could sell for.

MT60s are fine...not really the best road tyre though.

Depends where you live. If looking for someone local. Then posting in local forum is best.

Just looking for tyres or fitting as well.

I've always found black circles really cheap and just get them delivered.

Also if you go onto the chipsaway website they are giving a discount code. So you save a few quid again.
