Been looking at tyres online and found a company called tyre leader.

Will do my size PR3's for 192.32 for a set, delivered!! As cheap as i can find anywhere.

Anyone ever heard of the company or used them before?

Ok, so you buy the tyres cheap online, how do you fit and balance them as all the garages near me only fit tyres sold by themselves?

there are plenty of places that will, some independents will do it for cash nudge nudge

i used a GTR specialist who has a leverless tyre fitting machine (no damage to the rims) and a hunter full alignment machine (which is about £150 cheaper than main dealer alignemnts, and much more accurate)

top place if your in kent

This, already spoken to my local motorcycle tyre dealer who will put them on for £10 each if i bring my wheels in or £20 each if i take the bike and he takes the wheels off. Either way its still a good saving.

But then compared to FWR you can do a 120/70/17 and 190/55/17 set of Pirelli Diablo Rosso Corsas for £34 cheaper. It's even £8 cheaper than Crossan.

I usually buy from the Visorshop/Crossan, but on some of the tyre sets this Tyre Leader place are super good value. Good spot OP!

Yeah - but if you bought a decent brand like Pirelli or Michelin in a non-ponsey racing size without a balloon profile, you would have saved many, many pennies.

Dunflops are st.

HTH

Michelins on that site are proper cheap... I would have saved £45 over prices I've just paid and that was cheap already compared to most places round here.
