tyres

i have ordered a pair of avon cobra chromes from National bike tyres uk £306 plus £20 postage, my dealer was quoting a special price of £442.00,he says that fitting them is a complex procedure, is that correct? and what is it that makes it complex. i'm worried my local tyre fitter may not have...

As the title says, are you guys in the UK getting your tyres from the dealers or is there somewhere else you get them from? Or are you using a differant make and how do you find them in comparison?

What tyres do you guys run on your rockets looking at which are the best for the bike thanks inadvance :cool:

Any one changed these yet, either due to preference or wear? I have over 4.5k miles on mine and I think it will need replacement in the next 1k miles. I usually get 8k miles out of sport-touring tyres like roadsmarts so I was wondering if 5k is good or bad from these Avons.

Hi, I'd like "Pilot Power 3" by Michelin. I would opt for them 240/45/ZR17 82W. However it isn't done for 16" wheel. So I don't know if it fit, so neither difficulty or nor hurt me seriously. It doesn't even our size for front tyre too, so I thought 160/70/ZR17 69W. It's designed yet for rear...

has anyone tried the Pirrelli night dragon 140/80 front Tyre? Is the Exedra Max still the rear choice ?

Hi has anyone tried a 140 profile on the front of their Rocket instead of the standard 150 profile? Just wondering if there is any improvement in the steering without affecting high speed stability. Cheers Marco

Hi, does anyone know of a good tyre supplier and fitter in South Australia?

I went to get new tyres fitted on the weekend. Before I arrived the bloke said the rear is a pain, bad rim design with no well for the tyre bead to drop in to for fitting the tyre. Anyway, on arrival there was more warning that the tyre may rip, and sure enough it did! So back on went the old...

Just realised how camp that subject sounds, never mind, loving my new ride, but seeking advice on replacement tyres....

Selling as a pair of part worn Metzeler tyres, front and rear, for collection from Cannock, Staffordshire. The Rear has a pop rivet spline in it still, so will need plugging. Under 600 miles of use. The Front has no issues. Under 1,000 miles of use. Any interest?
