I am up for new tyres....... again! I want to support the local guys, but !
I can save up to $200 a set by buying on the web and fitting them myself. I'm in the process of making a jig to change my own tyres with little effort, and balancing is no drama either.
I need the jig to change tyres on my track bike anyway, as I get cheap used tyres of a racer friend.
So I can avoid the charges the dealers charge for fitting tyres not bought from them.
What do you think? Is anyone else getting tyres from overseas? Is it worth it and if so, any advice on suppliers.
The price difference is just too big to ignore,
