    Where's the cheapest place to buy bike tyres??

    Supply only, got access to fitting machine and balancer!

    Looked at the usual mytyres, black circles etc etc but there about the same price as the local fitter INCLUDING fitting

    Cheers

    Just read an artical about some dudes bike not having any grip what so ever and it turned out that the tyre was older than the bike, so they must go off a bit, and old stock is what is usually what you will find as cheap stock.

    I know mate! Problem is soooo little margin on tyres and I am not talking proffit for me I mean to give prices that are cheaper than eBay etc I could end up with the shipping costing me a loss or bumping the price higher than you can get else where. BUT my suppliers do offer deals on some pairs so they can work out cheap IF the buyer wants those tyres.. I will be at my workshop later today and will post some example prices and names of such deals. My guys keep 220,000 tyres in stock at all times they ship same day for next day del. I can look into shipping costs but tbh I think thats me out the game then...

    Ok for example:-

    Those R10's from Holebeach are a bargin cheapest I can do them is £277ish!

    120/70/17 and 190/50/17 unless stated 55!

    Deals:-

    BT014's 185.00

    Qualifiers 175.00

    Pilot Power 180.00

    Diablo Corsa 175.00

    Other:-

    Sportsmarts 250.00

    D211's ONLY 55 rear 305.00

    BSB's ONLY 55 rear 218

    Rosso2 230.00

    No postage and no fitting inc.. :)
