Where do you guys go for tyres? I need a new on and to get it fitted Saturday ride in ride out or from someone coming to work, not keen on riding it far as flat as a pancake with a big screw in it, can't see it staying inflated for more than 10miles, its for the rear of the blade, ideally a Michelin Pilot Power 3 or PR3.

Generally I use Ride In Tyres in Reading. Competitive prices and open Sat morning. Not sure how local you are though.

I've used http://www.tbmotorcycles.co.uk/ in Didcot.

Ordered tyres online and he collected bike and fitted a pair for 25 a wheel I think since they were on the bike and a tenner I think for fuel. Fair considering he made a trip to and from Didcot to Headington twice!

Tyres arrived earlier than expected, called him and told him they'd arrived and he was collecting the bike half an hour later! Top bloke, Tony if I remember correctly.

I am coming back to Oxford and getting bike MOTd in Horspath at Sheps Cycle shack Friday. Anyone game for brekky Saturday morning?

Dave Wood racing for all my bits, normally a full stock of Michelins too. But they are in Aylesbury so might be a little far.

Must have been the man himself. Nice guy, warned me about being careful on the new tyres before he left too. I'd only had the bike a few weeks then.
