Tyre Prices In The Last 30days!

It's OK Mary, I think our conclusions are similar, just approached from different angles.......

 

Reet, tyres are getting expensive. Boom…

Now let’s discuss something more interesting. Like me!

 

Hmm, nowt to do with me. Ask ET. He picked this name for me. Control freak y'see...

 

The forum, any forum would be the worse for threads not going on tangents once it's not abusive

 

hmm, yep, tyres, hmm, yep, expensive, hmm, etc.

 

Motorcycle tyres aren't made from natural rubber...

That seems ok for a full set, I'm at 3000 miles now on my current set so I may grab a set and store them for when I need to change them...

 

Just bought 2 rears for the porker. 265/35/18. Less than the cost of a pair of slicks!

 

Sounds like we’re getting a bumming.

 

And they are branded sport tyre.

Even ‘cheap’ pairs for bikes are £300 nearly. That’s a good £80 more than a year or two ago

 

My mate had to get two Michelin cup 2’s the other day and got charged the same for two as you used to for four !

 

Got to get 2 305/30 ZR20's this week.
Not looking forwards to it.

 

Hot off the press from last week, a well known Guildford tyre supplier was paying around the £2.5k for a shipping container but now it's the £20k mark.!, prices will be passed onto the end user no matter what.

 

Thank fuck I earn shit tons. Phew!!

 

From TwoTyres website - I have just bought some Metzelers for the 1290 KTM, but noticed this whilst looking through all of the tyre options:

• Out of Stock - for this size only - all others seemed to be in stock.
• If they are getting more expensive - why does it say - was £152 now £132 ?
• Could the falling Euro against the Pound have something to do with this as they are made in Germany same as the Metzelers ?

 

I wonder if our local crackheads have an increase in their drugs as well, anybody.

 

Nah, just a bit more washing powder cut in… they’ll have nice fresh breath

 

The days of cheap stuff are coming to an end.

 

And we’re all going to die
