Where do you buy your tyres?

[Andrew G]

I'm after some new Conti 4 Seasons after I collected a screw this morning which has torn my tyre. I actually had to unscrew the thing from the tyre with my multi-tool it had shoved itself in so hard.

Anyhoo if anyone has a good source for tyres at attractive prices please let me know. I'm working my way through all the ones I can think of but bound to miss some, or not know about them. JE James has had the best price so far but only has 1 in stock and I want to order a pair from the same place.

Cheers.

See what a good boy I was, I refrained from going off on a screw and rubber thread that could have lasted for ages .

Wiggle and Ribble are pretty good and they accept all credit cards

Parker international have been good. Try chainreactioncycles also. But my last set of Conti 4000S i got off a bike shop on ebay.

Talking of which, if anyone's interested I'm flogging 5 mint condition british newspapers on that electronic flea market celebrating the new dawn breaking across the pond. Me and 2,500 others apparently. But you saw it here first

Parker International are slightly cheaper at £26.95

And although they have appaling customer service and I hesitate to recommend them Ribble's price is £24.25

I'd go with Parker - they're a great shop! I bought my last batch of Assos kit from them and they even sent me a free Rouleur magazine

Odd Dotbike now showing much more than the £23 a tyre I paid.

Knew I forgot somewhere in my searching Sean, mind you they'd probably have been the same price with postage.
