Iam looking for a place in the north west that has tourance or anakee tyres for my 12gs in stock but is ok on price and has a ride-in ride-out fitting service? Also must be open sat or sun.

I am in Warrington, cheshire.

This guy is the best for service I've ever used. I go to them from Oldham.
I rode up first time a few years back. The owner is a biker, he stopped his lads owrking on a car, I left the bike, wobbled off for a brew and all was ready and waiting for me when I came back. And his prices were pretty good too.

Give SMD at Leigh a call 01942604511. Have used them for years, never had a problem with fitting or damage to wheels and have a good stock of tyres and prices seem similar to every one elses.

F&B everytime, always carries loads of Tourance tyres on the shelf for tossers

THE ROVER · Nov 18, 2006

I rang him yesterday

and he did a good price on tourances, £170 and BT 020's, £193 fitted.
Still trying to find another way though so I don't have to travel 110 miles for a set of tyres.

Can't decide between the above tyres or some michelin pilot roads.
Doing a search just confuses things :nenau

Look at it another way, when you're home they're almost scrubbed in.

BTW if you head east from Sandbach, the Peak District is nice, the tunnel isn't that far away either, but it's not a quick road. Not for me.

I use Steve too. One of the nicest guys you can have to do your tyres. Takes his time but does a lovely job. Loves BM's and really takes care with your baby. Balances by hand (weired but 100% spot on) and is pretty cheap too. I used him because of a recommendation and wouldn't look elsewhere now. Worth the trip from Warrington, get em bedded in on the way home too, BONUS!!!!!!
Seriously, this guy comes Highly recommended

Bugger, I would have called in to say hello if it was a bit earlier! Next time!

THE ROVER · Nov 22, 2006

tourances now fitted.

Went to Sandbach for the tyres, his place is not what I expected but he appears to have done a good job at a good price.

Likeable bloke as well and I had a good chat with him.

Not the best time to be scrubbing in tyres what with a downpour on the M6 and knobheads in cages desperate to get home. :spitfire

Had one very scary moment.

I'm booked in with Steve at F&B on sunday afternoon for conti road attacks on my 1200 for the princely sum of £154 :clap
