  1. I have today got a rear puncture, i will get it looked at to see if its repairable, but I'm considering changing it any way although it has masses of life left in it.

    I have found a few on line tyre suppliers, can anyone recommend or even warn me away from any on line suppliers ?

    Cheers

  5. I've used Oponeo a couple of times now with no drama, although they did send a pair of tyres that were slightly older than two years old once. Which they duly gave me a fairly decent refund on and five per cent off forthcoming orders for a year, but you have to work for it!

    To be honest tho I still find Protyre amongst the best for pricing and hassle free service. Not the cheapest but grief free.

  9. I've just ordered a set of Metzler M7rr's from Tyreleader.co.uk
    Great price, I got a tracking email number and they showed up at my door about 4 or 5 working days later as stated when I ordered. Can't knock it. Very pleased. Great new tyres, the right size, highly recommended.

    Think I'll get them fitted tomorrow.

  10. Is it worth buying online? I neither have the facility or the tools to do it.

  11. There is a guy nr Salisbury who prefers you buy online and will fit for a very reasonable sum.

  12. Steve, Out of interest, how much does he charge per wheel? Wheels on or off the bike?

  13. I will give him a call and check, he told me last year when I wanted some tyres on the GS. I ended up having CW fit them during a service.

  17. Supercorsa SA 200/55 ZR17 78W

    Tyreleader £122 - ordered
    Black Circles £139
    Pneus £158
    FWR £198

    Will be taking it to VP Motorcycles for fitting

    tbh the whole thing is costing less than I expected and I might get the old one plugged and put in the loft as an emergency spare.
