Posted May 31, 200915 yr Can any one recommend a good place in Kent / Sussex area for tyres as some F*CK HEAD has slashed my front tyre Running Pirelli's at the moment but looking on the web they want £999 for both (Yeah like F*ck) 100/90-18 front and 120/90-18 rear, any help welcome. I'm getting both done as rear looks like it will need replacing soon anyway. THANK YOU
May 31, 200915 yr Author OK, found what I was looking for Front £83.50 Rear £95.50, Money I could do without spending right now? Any one know of another good brand to put on the old beast. Cheers
June 1, 200915 yr Author Right, just made a phone call to a company up north and a pair of Avon Roadrunners are £130 including delivery? So are Avon any good, seeing as I ride an old XJ900 will they be ok for my Knee down stlye of riding Sorry, went a bit stupid there ..........are they ok tyres for every day steady riding. Cheers
June 1, 200915 yr Moderator Avon are good tyres. They'll stand up to a pretty good bashing. I have friends who swear by them, but its personal preference, and at 130 quid a pair, i think you got a good deal honey
June 1, 200915 yr Moderator Alex found his local ATS will do em for £140 fitted now and £152 for bridgestones he told us on the RD forum Merv

June 2, 200915 yr Running Pirelli's at the moment but looking on the web they want £999 for both For that price I would expect Pirelli to include this years calender and at least one of the girls modelling it
June 2, 200915 yr Author For that price I would expect Pirelli to include this years calender and at least one of the girls modelling it You would think they would include something worth looking at? I still trying to recover from the £999 price tag on the web. I'm having Bridgestones fitted today for a much better price of £152.
July 12, 200915 yr i run avon roadriders. from watling tyres in chatham kent. (they all over southeast). ride the same as you i think. hell ive got a bike and i am going to enjoy it. anyhow i pay 70 to 75 quid each tyre. just bought a new rear and it was £72. have no complaints bout either the tyre or watling, but you av to take yer own wheel off.
