Hi,
Being new to the area an (according to my family) tight as the proverbial...Where's the most competitve for tyres in Swindon? I need a new rear tyre for the bandit and hate having to spend half the day on the phone to find the cheapest!
Cheers,
Steve
I got a pretty good deal on some BT014 Battleaxe' at Tire Treads in Kembrey Park industrial estate.
Speak to Gav, he works there!
Always has been my 1st choice for tyres and fitting in Swindon.
Yep got pair BT014's... there few weeks ago, plenty of tyre wieghts on rear no extra charge Lol...
there a good set of tyres, not sure which I prefer out of the BTO14' and the Pirelli Diablo Corsa', but they do come at a premium.
I have ran with Diablo Corsa for several years, decide to go back to Battleaxe just for a change.Quote:

I have considered the Michelin Pilot powers, especially the new dual compound version, any knowledge on these, as it won't be long before I will be getting some new tyres again.
Might be worth taking a look at manufactures recom for you motorcycle.
Bike Treads btw:P
Will you listen to the 2speed gods there...lol
The Diablo corsa is the thack day version of the Diablo....
Bridgestone do the same with the BT014 its called the BT014ss....
THey are both very good tyres, but you should see more progressive feel and grip from the Corsa...and it should maitain its performance longer as it will diserpate the heat more efficantly...there tech bit over...lol
Oh Bike Treads for tyres....as you can read a few people swear by us, and to be fair i thnk we have the best reputation around as far as tyres go...

Ah ya always get that now and then, wasnt there that day as i dont remember you coming in so i cant comment, but normally with loose wheels and trail tyres we ask for the direction of rotaion to make sure they go on right 1st time.....and you will be amazed at how many people can get their wheels off but have no idea which way they go......
If you want tyres of the T'internet then look on eBay for the seller cheapbiketyres. £150 a pair delivered FOC.
That is a good price actually....depending on what tyres it is forQuote:

And although the price is good, you still have to add a fitting cost to that....we charge £25/tyre to fit to a bike and £15 to a loose wheel.....we have to make money somewhere if we dont sell the tyres...that does include balanceing aswell...
There are places that will fit them for next to nothing, but the majority of them are car tyre place, and iv seen some real kacked about rims as they dont really have the equipment for bike tyres.

Gav - the bike dealers in Ciren fit mine for £20 a pair to loose wheels. ;D

Thats a good price toi loose wheels, we would charge £30 to do the same........but they would be quicker tyres if i fit them.....Quote:
