Does anyone know any good online places to get motorbike tyres?
Motorbike Tyres?

http://www.fwr.co.uk/ v good deal on a 3 pack if you like running supercorsas, dipends what you want really.
To be honest, I prefer just buying local.
Always had a great deal from a couple of places around here, even the 1 man servicing outfit I use can source and fit tyres at a pretty decent price for me.
It's nice to keep supporting the "little man"/ smaller businesses instead of plumping for the big players. Not saying its wrong to do so, just my thoughts.
Once you get the tyres from online anywhere, you still have the added expense of paying to have them fitted and balanced, unless you do it yourself, which I wouldn't recommend, personaly.
I will say though, that the prices that FWR quote are damn good, the packet of 3 offer is a good one.
What make/model of bike is it? I've been through 3 pairs of Mich Pilot Powers and I can honestly say they are the best hoops I've ever used on a bike. Good warm up times, fantastic grip and stability and they even last well as far as mileage goes!!
£200 a pair, fitted at my local mobs outfit.
If its a sports bike you are piloting, they are well worth a go if you haven't tried 'em out yet.

i'm the same to be honest, there's not a massive saving on buying tyres online and i'd prefer to have local shops around for other things.
