Matthew Duncan Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Recently MOT'd my XJ600N and to my shock ( haha!) the tires were on the limit. Anyone in the area recommend best place to get new ones ? i was thinking about Bridgestone BT 45's but maybee settle for something a bitty cheaper in this cold, miserable, money tight times . . mind you . . could allways just forget the girlfriends valentines present . . . Got a quote for £152 for Pirelli's . . guy said speed demons, but im thinking 152's a bit cheep for them ? Cheers Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirriePete Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I dunno John, I get my tyres from these guys - Clicky link to moto-tyres - and they can do a set of BT45's delivered to your door for £158, or Pirelli Sport Demons for £155. They come from Germany and usually take 3-4 days, although I did wait a whole week once. Never had a bad tyre from them yet. Yeah, you have to fit them yourself (or find a friendly local bloke who'll do 'em for a fiver), but tyre fitting is not a black art is it? Decent set of levers, some tyre soap scrounged from the skip behind Kwik-fit, and a wee bit of muscle, job done. The only hassle is taking your freshly-mounted tyre to the local petrol station for air - a footpump doesn't really have the oomph for that initial 'Pop!' when the bead sits into the rim. You're welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
