Tyres in South Australia

GC are very good and know there tyres. They have a huge range and charge no extra for removal/fitting. No need to balance the bike for them either

Thanks Boony, did you remove the wheels yourself or did you get him to to it?

As Mike188 said. He does it all for you. Just ring him first so he can get the tyre in. He is away this week though.

Okay. Did you stick with original Metzler tyres? I've read it might be a good idea to reduce profile on front from 150 to 140 for quicker steering.

I have a Bridgestone on the rear. Great tyre. I was there last week and got an Avon Cobra 140 on the from. It definitely makes the front end steer quicker. It is rock steady too.

Good to Know Boony as I have been thinking about going 140 front, next change I will

Okay that explains why I haven't heard back from him.

Why no need to balance tyres? GC offered it.

Looks like 140 is the go.

Just FYI -
Not so much the tire aspect ratio as the lowering of the front axle and decrease of the trail.
Get a 240/55R16 on th rear and it gets even better!

So that will raise the rear end will it?

Yes. I run the Bridgestone on the rear. Great combination.
