    Couldn't agree more! On a car, you can get away with a bit more as you've got twice the number of tyres and each one has a contact patch around the size of an A4 sheet of paper. On a bike, your contact patch is around the size of a credit card..........

    I'm guessing you are the Danny who I've been emailing then haha.
    Any chance of a NWB discount on the quote you gave me so far?
    Cheeky I know but if you don't ask you don't get and all that

    Saltys good mate so yea TST for new tyres.

    Buts if your looking for part worns or track day take offs, go on ebay, ive got some proper bargains there but also got some proper rip off so balances itself out i suppose.

    SMD was started by tony and Paul in the 1970's and Tony reteired in 1995. Tony now own TST and we still run classic race bike ( parade use )

    +1 for TST from me, great service and prices. Maybe I should have tried for NWB discount when I went aswell!

    +2 can't complain about the deal I got on mine anyway, the quote I got on the phone was the best price I got and on the day he charged me even less, can't see me going anywhere else in future.
