Thruxton Tyre Supply And Fitting

You can probably get it cheaper when is on a loose wheel which might explain the price difference?
£143 isn't terrible for a loose wheel and even better for a ride in-ride out service.
Tyre is £110 ish and half hr labour so when you add disposal charge too, £143 is ok imho and a good price for ride in.

PDQ Do fitting if you purchase the tyres there. But by Taplow station if you take new tyres they will change them to loose wheels and are very reasonable. As you come out of Taplow Station turn left to the main road straight across the road in the side street and on the left. They just did my 900 even masked up his machine as he didn't want to dirty or damage my wheels and he is a moto crosser as well so nearly in the family. He kept saying to me nice wheels got to keep them clean.

Don't know if you have Protyre dealer near you I use one at Winchester Micheldever tyres they charge £15 for a loose wheel and £30 ride in ride out.Prices are usually cheaper than buying online then getting tyre fitted.

 

Personally I would change from the angels, they have quite a shallow profile which slows down “tip in”, you can see the sharper profile in the photo, I have fitted Pirelli Diablo’s to my TT1200 and it has greatly improved the handling, Demon tweeks frequently have them on offer, I think I paid £58 for the front and £68 for the rear, any independent motorcycle shop will then fit them for you.
They are now doing them as a package for £119 including VAT but postage will be on top of that, superb tyres at a bargain price, mine when they arrived were 18 months old looking at the manufacture date on the tyres.

PDQ is in my opinion one of the best around. May not be the cheapest but their work is quality. Let them do the work the boss there does not like people telling him what is what but a genuine bloke. He actually designed a lot of the bits for the vmax and raced them. But i just though there is also the motorcycle shack in Woburn Green they do ride in I'm sure and are really good. But i still opt for PDQ.

What did they charge at PDQ ?

 

I have just had a set of road pilot 4’s on my tiger. The tyres were £250 and the fitting was £45 so a total of £295. I think the angel gt’s were slightly more expensive .

 

Holy mackerel!, shame your not in the Derby area, for those that are go to Racing Lines on Alfreton Rd, ride in is £25 per wheel or if you take a loose wheel in it’s £15 including balancing and disposal of the old tyre, they have a pro tyre fitting machine so there’s zero chance of rim damage, if you’ve ever watched one in operation you’ll see that the tools on the machine cannot contact the rim, that’s not to take away from Rob and his employees, they always treat your bike as if it were their own.

PS if you break it down re time taken I guess they are charging more than £150 an hour for that service , I can’t see how they can justify that.

 

Ah, that’s more like it
