I have a set of Michelin Pilot Road 2's with 2mm tread on the rear, and 3mm on the front. The rear tyre has slipped out on me at least 3 times this week, admittedly I was pushing it but I'm after a new set of tyres anyway. Michelin PR2's or 3's. Are there any deals going on right now? Discount codes etc? If not, which site do you use to get your tyres from?

don't know where you're located but Harris Brothers in Fforestfach were offering free fitting to Biker Wales forum members, phone and ask if the offer is still on...

Try https://www.nationalbiketyres.co.uk/ and see what they can do. Most bike workshops can fit and balance for you.

I got mine off eBay and paid £10 to have them fitted to loose wheels, saved about £30 Thumbs Up

I've used Oponeo.co.uk and they seem very good. They're much the same price as the likes of National Bike Tyres, but offer free delivery - quite a large % saving if you're ordering low value tyres.

Where are you?
Woosters between York and Leeds do ok prices.
Fitting to loose wheel. Offer ride in and fit for extra.

They have a website (bit poor) but they are on ebay for just tyres and fit yourself ( or goto somewhere)

My Last set of BT023's cost me £209 fitted to loose wheels.

Can't even find them on-line for that price, let alone online plus fitting.

Most places offer free fitting to loose wheels if you buy tyres from them so you automatically save £5 - £10 per tyre depending on how much they charge for fitting to loose wheels.
