Title: GT4 tyres
Post by: BigAlan on October 28, 2016, 12:22:11 PM
If anybody prefers the Michelin PR4 GT tyre them motoblouz.co.uk are doing them for £84.86 front and £123.18 rear although the rear is unavailable until 10th Nov.

That's the best prices I can find after over an hours research all over the Web and I remember Debs purchasing some from them last year.

I have ordered a front as there in stock and will probably get a rear next month, don't need them right now but it won't be long what with my motorway riding.

I also bought a set from them back in May/June, thanks to Debs' recommendation.

As you say, I've never seen them cheaper anywhere else.

Cheers

That's a good price Alan

I paid 264.00 for a pair fitted and balanced in June this year

Oooooooouch 😟😟 i just paid 160 for a rear gt pr4 and I took it off the bike outside the tyre shop. Thats smarts a bit now😟😟😟 i guess online is the way to go nowadays. Do the tyre shops get the hump when you roll in with a wheel and tyre and ask just to fit it. Seems like a liberty you know

good question mack.

I used to use a local tyre fitter who simply would not fit tyres unless he had supplied them, which seemed a bit unfair, however his supply and fit prices were competitive and his work quality was very good, so I stumped up  :yes: 

Its better to check first

I will call round my local dealers to see who has the best deal and i always take loose wheels, although more often than not my own town bike shop has the most favourable deal all things considered.

An update on suppliers and prices, Tyreleader.co.uk whom I suspect are out of the UK as you pay in Euro's but who have a good reputation are selling the rear PR4GT inc postage for £114.89 so I just purchased one using my credit card.

Let's hope all is well.
