try steve andrews tyres in st austell, will fit your won tyres to a loose wheel for a fiver or can supply and fit but i doubt they have stands for you tro remove whell in there

if not gupa p are good and are also in exeter if your using the a30

steve andrews will remove the wheel for you but charge £26 instead of a fiver. we could do with a good cheap tyre place down this neck of the wood with a ride in, ride out service. cheers. jamie

if you want ride in and ride out then try w allens at whitemoor near roche mate, they are the cheapest for tyres anywhere around i`ve used them for 10 years now, as long as you ring 1 day before to get in what you want, and fitting to bike is 5-10 depending on discs etc..... they eat sleep and breathe tyres, graham is even coming in on his normal day off now to do my tyre!! thanx for the suggestions though everyone!!- but remember if youre in st. awful area and after tyres, i cant reccomend allens enough, no frills but proper job!!!! they`ll even reccomend best tyre for your riding style if youre not sure what to go for...

Hi There,

I recently discovered Collins of probus -

Great service and the best price I found in the area -

They look like a car garage but they do bikes too - They are bikers

I got a 180/55 ZR17 for £108 fitted

Cheers

Little bit out of your way is rapid tyres on St Columb bypass 01637 889937 run by a couple of guys who run track days.

Don't forget tyre wise in Cornwall there's a fair few options

Bike tech services in Padstow
J P Motorworx nr St Austell
Camelford bike bits
River valley garage nr st Austell

Plenty of places to still get decent rubber fitted
