Tkc80's
 

Hi all, i've got a quote on a pair of Tkc80's for my Ten @�188 +�30 fitting http://www.xt660.com/images/icons/icon9.gif, is this around the right price or does anyone know where i could get them cheaper? it seems abit pricey. Thanx Dave

I got my last pair for �130 (a year ago) from here...

http://www.nationalbiketyres.co.uk/m...80/cat_65.html

Current price is �144 a pair delivered

Thanx Pleiades, thats sum saving:118:, i might even try fitting them myself too. what size tyres should i go for? Dave

I'd get the OE fitment 130/80 rear, I've tried the 140 which doesn't make a lot of difference except makes the rear end look a bit more manly! The 140 is also considerably more expensive than the 130 though, so not worth it in my eyes.

I'd have a go at fitting them yourself if you've got the time and inclination, the TKC I found was quite an easy one to learn with. It'll save you �30 and you'll pick up a useful skill that might save your bacon one day.

Cheers Pleiades, i do like a Fatt back tyre but will stick to standard & buy some decent tyre levers, Cheers Dave
