replacement tyres

[TomL]

well having booked in with GS Motorcycles in Reading (who have changed their tariff and now charge extra for the mobile service), it seems the PR3s are hard to get so I've gone for PR4s at £302 ride in/ride out.  I may have been able to get them cheaper elsewhere but:
 - I prefer to use a service I've used before and therefore trust
 - It's an excuse to get my bike out on Saturday and take a long over due ride

Blimey that is expensive

I'm realising that but I can't find another local supplier who can quote online...and I can't be arsed / too busy to wrong around

Rae well there is an A spec front and rear for pirelli Angel GT,s thats what is on my bike, they have an A in a circle so you know that they are A spec rather than standard tyres.

You could have taken an extra 20 odd mile ride down to Micheldever Tyres. Used em for years, will match any like for like offer and shift so much stock the tyres are always fresh.

Thanks for the info I will check out the Pirelli web site.

You're quite right, Rae. It's just the rear that's 'A'. You've earned (my contribution to) your pension today!

Having looked closer at the Pirelli website I think there maybe an A rated front.

I've been using Universal Tyres for the last 15 years or so. They've always have been competitive to buying tyres of the Internet normally matching prices and including fitting, valves & balancing to loose wheels.
They are also within a group which own Round & Black and Watling tyre services.
Just had fresh new rubber fitted to the K1200LT for £204 front & rear Avon storms 3D XM's prior to the transmission failure yesterday. These replaced the earlier Avon Storm II Ultra's which had 9500M on them, and only replaced due to the cupping of the front tyre which was giving me vibration issues at speed and under deceleration.

Change to the Angel GTs a couple of months ago. Did write on another thread about my scrubbing in day out up Tomintoul etc. In a word "Excellent". £250 fitted not bad.

I found the PR3s to be squirmy over white lines in the wet.

I only found that when they were well worn - acted as a "time to get new tyres" reminder

Did they fit Michelins on that first car? PR 1s, not PR 2,3,4, or 5s obviously durrr:
