I last used Carson Tyres in Melksham. Can't see any prices without knowing your tyre specs but their website is www.rideinrideout.co.uk 😄

We get all our bike tyres from Carson's. Sometimes have the older pattern tyres as good prices too, worth an ask . Every now and again Bridgstone do very good deals, again worth asking (have to buy a pair though to take advantage of these generally)

Thank you, I have had a look at Carsons drive in-out prices and they seem very reasonable. As you say best if you buy both but my front tyre seems to be brand new. The reason for the request is that I got an advisory on the MOT, so I thought better safe than sorry:cool:

Hi, yes we can supply and fit your tyre's not a problem at at all. We carry most tyre's in stock so would most likely be able to see you on new rubber straight away. Just as a rough guide we can supply and fit the latest Bridgestone BT023 to your bike for £223.78
Also as you've had an advisory on your mot you can pop in and we will have a look and see what sort of life you have left in your current tyres prior to you spending out to replace them...........

Bridgestone? Haven't touched them since the god awful bt021, have a look at the Avon storm's or Mich pr3's, you won't look back.

I agree Mitch. the bridgestone front I just took off the front of mine scared me to death and gave me no confidence in the corners... I cut a section of it after it was removed and the profile looked like 50p piece with uneven wear! I've got a storm 3d xm on now... that's much much better!

Carsons have in the past only had 1 bike mechanic and if he isn't there then they don't offer the "ride in ride out" service they offer.
They will tell you how easy it is for you to remove the wheels but at the same time their professional and trained car mechanics can't do it.

Westbury tyre and MOT in Westbury - O/H just got a set of PR4's for £40 cheaper than I paid from Carsons
