    i have "Mobile Bike Tyres" coming Saturday to fit a rear tyre, he removes the wheel himself, fits balances and refits the wheel. Bridgestone BT 016 Pro 190 all for £115, sounds good to me though I havnt looked around?

    Sounds a good price considering all you have to do is put the kettle on, but didn't you have new tyres just last year?

    I'm not sure when I last had a rear Gary but the blades three years old next month and This will be my second change. I'm getting about 3000 miles I would say.

    It's the edge I ware first given my corner drift etc, and the fronts not down enough to ware at all. My nose it itching I hope it's not growing again

    That’s a great price, where will they travel to?. I am running the same rubber on mine (as that’s what it came with, new tyres on 2nd hand bike) but only managed 2500 miles from the rear. This isn't great considering I bought in Jan and hadn't ridden for a while so wasn't riding it that hard (at first!!) Fitted the same last week but will probably change to Michelins next time when the front needs replacing too. Other than the rate of wear on the tyres they have been pretty good with plenty of grip in both the wet and dry.

    Have you had suspension set up for you? Will help tyre life

    Might be me not noticing it previously but I noticed a dink on a rim when I used him to do my tyres a year or so ago. Like I said it could be a coincidence but doubt I will use him again.

    His prices are based on a 30 radious from Sleaford, any further would be priced accordingly. I think Preston would make him too expensive.
