hi folks
going to swap some tyres and was thinking of buying online... are there any recommendations on where to go to get them fitted/ balanced etc?
Thanks in advance.

You will have to ring around as shops dont really like doing this for inet tyres which is fine as they didnt sell them.So it will depend on the mood of the shop can be anything betweem $20 a wheel to $50 and some may say get stuffed if there busy

MAW, All Fixed Auto, Bikebiz
Never had a complain from any of them that i didnt buy tyres from them

Most Victorians ive met are a touch sensitive

But in saying that, there are mobs around here who also dont like doing it, just have to chose the right ones

Victorians aren't sensitive at all!

If you're thinking of buying online and getting fit somewhere, you might want to check out team moto @ blacktown instead. $399 for a set of Q2s, $429 for a set of power pures, and price includes fitting whilst you wait.

As a comparison a set of Q2s fitted by Madaz is $529.

$399 fitted is a good price for q2's

Q2s are $250 a set from US plus $95 freight plus fitting say $40 per wheeel so $425 per set, you do get $50 credi on your next order though that is only good if u order a lot of times. but still makse $399 fitted locally is a better option.I am not aware of any local guys here in Vic doing tyres that cheap,hopefully they start getting into the swing of it.I know when i got a set of M5s from Kon he was about the same price as the net and i got service.But on some certain tyres the locals are way off in pricing.I probably will be buying more tyres locally as with my new venture if and when it happens i will be needing less tyres for the road and the track as i will be a busy boy for quite a while

Team Moto, bikebiz have multiple dealers and can move a lot of Tyres quickly.

Mca buy bucketloads of Tyres and sell them off cheap. They don't carry an assortment. It's what they have pay full price elsewhere.

I think that's the prob here.. we dont have the bigger dealer's..
I read AMCN all the time, and u allways see them on sale, cheaper deals ect.
I get all my tyres from deano at dynoverks, and deano does a ok deal, but not like u see listed up there..
