Where do you get your tyres from?

wildbeeste · Oct 20, 2004

I know this is a very personal thing but where do you get yours from?
I want personal service and not to have to wash my hands afterwards. i.e. they should put the rubber on for me and I can just lie back and let them do all the hard work. Finally afterwards I want to feel as if I am cheap.
Can any of you lot out there satisfy me? :confused:

I feel cheap already writing this twaddle

A bit further across....
try Micheldever Tyres .
Recent new rear Tourance cost me £92.82.. ride in/out.
I've been quoted around £76 for a front Tourance, same basis.

They are very good... look after your bike... nice guys...

My last 3 fittings have all been at different places

Tourances on 1150 - Watling Tyres, Catford*

TKC80's on 100GSPD - Sidcup Motorcycle Tyres

Tourances on 1150 - Micheldever Tyres

* Would have been Micheldevers again but they're 80 miles away and when I was last down there I was working and my customer didn't think to take my bike down for some tyres while I was busy working for him - how fekkin unreasonable

That said I have used Watlings in Catford since I got into biking, thy alway shave good stock levels and its a ride in, ride out jobbie. I can reccomend all of them, though Sidcup requires a booking and can be a bit slow, though he is a one man band and can get the TKC's the other two day they can't get.

Again FWR Kennington .
They claim to be the cheapest in the UK quote a real price & they say they can beat it !! Talk to Barb she is very knowlegable & helpful, "Top people"

wildbeeste · Oct 22, 2004

Thanks for the information
I will try them all next week for a quote

Micheldever Tyres - cheapest in the South.

I don't go there any more though - I now phone them for a quote (for car or bike tyres) and go in to a local National or Humphries and say "Micheldever will do them for £xxx - do you want to match that for the business?"

Works every time.

Cheers,

Neil.
