Need a new front tyre bridgestone 014 120/65/ can i find a good dealer in newcastle? can i bugger. Main dealers wants extortionate amounts Kawasaki Ncle for ex. want £120 fitted. I can get one fitted for £75 quid but thats in Dewsbury and I have a slow puncture(1). Anyone know any good cheap suppliers/fitters in and around the toon? (1) Ultraseal did not cure it. -- ______________________________________________ Ken ZX636 ninja *Remove knickers to mail me ______________________________________________
Doesn't surprise me. Can't you just get it repaired? I get mine done by DIT in Washington. Or try Hunters on the hill, but you'll have to take in a loose wheel. Hmmm... have you checked it's not just the valve?
Yes its the tyre. Did the rub fairy liquid around it and found the split! Got at least a good 1000 miles left on it an all!! -- ______________________________________________ Ken ZX636 ninja *Remove knickers to mail me ______________________________________________
Also I have paddock stands but the front one obscures the axle nuts, so i cannot remove the wheel - although i asked the supplier before i bought the bloody thing. -- ______________________________________________ Ken ZX636 ninja *Remove knickers to mail me ______________________________________________
I posted 2 weeks ago a link on eBay for a guy who runs a garage in Cumbria. 170/55R17 only cost me £34.99 + p&p (£12). He should be able to help you out. His eBay user ID is davemilling. I highly recommend him, I paid via paypal and the tyre arrived 2 days later. My local grease monkey is charging me £15 to put it on and balance it. HTH
