Last week I noticed my front tyre ŵas going out of shape so I made some enquires and picked up a set of Avon storm 3d xm for £140 including vat (£60 each) rang my ločal shop (yamaha) £50 + vat to fit both on the bike

They have no problem fitting something if you buy it yourself .

National Tyres, Barnsley, tenner a tyre to fit and balance and get rid of ya old .

No good asking on here...better off asking the actual tyre peeps in your area. Should find plenty amenable to just fitting.

my local independant mechanic will do fitting on loose wheels for a tenner cash, or 15 with an electronic or paper trail.

But I have a mate with a tyre changer which is even cheaper, but then, I do his bandit's valve clearances for him when needed.
