Hi all,

It is now time to buy some tyres, anyone advise on where to get a pair of decent tyres for a GSXR600 SRAD at a decent price (ride in ride out) around Bedford or Northampton?

Thanks

What type of riding do you do - road, track, commuting, touring?

I've used M&P before with no problems. Always courier delivered my tyres. I then whip off the wheels and head up to my local bike shop for fitting at £10 per wheel.

Just moved into my house, don't really have the time or energy this year to take wheels off. Looking for a garage fairly local so I can just get them to do it.

I always find that Mytyres are the cheapest -

I really don't get this, it's a lot of effort to go through to save what really works out as nothing maybe £2.
Tyre fitting is £10 whether they take them off or you take them off then drive to them, get them fitted then come back refit to your back.
You save nothing over getting mobile fitting or riding to a place to do it.

Last tyre I had fitted was £140 delivered and I then take wheel off (30 mins) put in car, use £5-10 of fuel going to shop to get it fitted, then return and refit, so call it £160.

Or £155 fitted if I rode bike there maybe £1 of fuel.

Or £155 and a man comes to me and fits it to bike.

Why bother buying tyres online to fit yourself, you don't really save anything.

Guys,

All I am looking for is if anyone knows somewhere local to Bedford or Northampton where I can take my bike and have them replace the tyres.

Any help is greatly appreciated.
