Where to buy tyres? Sydney

[jaeyon]

Howdy,

My front tyre is up for a replacement and I was thinking it'd also be a good time to get my Kaneg crash knobs fitted on my 636. Anyone able to recommend a shop to get this done or know of any tyre sales coming up (after a Michelin front tyre)? I live in chippendale but travel out west a fair bit to visit the folks and friends around liverpool. so anywhere between there would be sweet.

Cheers,
john

I got a good price on two sets of tyres from http://www.balmainmotorcycles.com.au

Ron at Flywheels at McEvoy St, Alexandria is pretty close to you and has just relinquished his Kawasaki dealership due to economic conditions and only runs the workshop now. He's a good mechanic with track experience. His prices are competitive - he won't be the cheapest but you get good service and advice.

TeamMoto in blacktown have some of the cheapest tyres in Sydney.
Jump on the Teammoto website and have a look. I bet they as the same or better than any quote you've got.
Ring ahead and get while u wait service. Speak to Shane in the workshop.
It's a good central location from most places too.

If your coming to Blacktown, you may aswell drive 5 mins further and go to Allfixed at castle hill.
Glenn is a legend.
He will get whatever Tyres you want, or fit Tyres you bring to him.

+1 for Glen

I had a good run with Craig White from White's Racing Products (http://www.wrp.net.au/) getting tyres for my trackie. Great price and great tyres, what more can I say! Craig's a great bloke who spent lots of time talking to me about getting into the racing scene, even let me come out to see him at a race meeting at EC to fit my tyres. I'd recommend you give any time.

hey,
CANT AGREE MORE with Sparks_333
Craig White is absolutely sensational!!
Top tyres and TOP prices and EVEN better service!!!!
I wont go to anyone else except him anymore!!!!
Ive gotten tyres...exhausts and priceless advice...
He is WAY more than just tyres if anyone is ever looking for stuff!!!

[Blurr]

Yep Craig is really nice and offers great service but I do find it hard to trust him re advice on tires. Will sell you old stock if your not careful and offer some ordinary advice for his own benefit.

Note: I had a whole different response typed up but changed it as I wanted to be more positive

I do think most places that have a commercial interest in something would slant/lie or possibly even convince themselves that what they are telling you is true.
It's just human nature.

I agree....... got Tyres and work done by Glenn a number of times. usually works out better and cheaper in the long run
