Seen plenty of sports bikes in there getting tyres, so I guess they'll be ok.

Certainly if they take the same sort of care with bikes that they do with cars then it'll be a top place for you to go. Best prices around, as well (for cars, anyway).

yes I was there last week with the Merc for a front tyre & had a wander around, need to go back again this month for 2 rears on the Loti, always bikes up the top being worked on.

So your Bruv... how about a PH'er discount? We always big up Protyre so if theres someone who could offer us a better deal I think he'd do well from it.

So come on, spill the beans, wer e be 2?! sonar

Just another thumbs up for Protyre. I had my first blowout on Sat, I've never had a tyre completly explode before but thankfully I was mincing along at about 25mph so easy to pull in & change. A split about 8 inches along the inside wall, the car passed MOT 2 weeks before so I know it was ok then.

Anyways, a neighbour said try Templegate Peugeot, they do tyres for cost plus £1 so they're the cheapest he could find anywhere. I called for a price & a bridgestone RE50 came in at £158.96 & he wouldnt drop as they make no money on it as it is. A quick call to Protyre & they quoted £138.00 for the same.

So in the last 2 weeks I've bought a front to get the Merc through MOT, a rear for the Merc as it exploded & next week the Loti is having 2 rears fitted.

This week I have been mostly buying tyres....

I have to admit I've pretty much stopped ringing round for prices now. They've always been cheaper and they actually know how to use a torque wrenchthumbup

I had them pop two on my Fazer last year. Great deal and good service. Have used them for the car too.

They had a total fool working in there for a while who damaged my borther's bike by ramming the front wheel back in - took out the speedo drive etc. Fool no longer there

Happy to send people their way these days.
