Any suggestions for a reputable supplier within 60 miles or so of Derby, as got a temporary repair done by BMW Assist, and local dealers are quoting end October early November for fitting a new set.

Update
Just booked the bike in with Paul at the Workshop in York, hopefully the weather will remain sensible.

Thanks worth knowing, hopefully after my return I'll be happy to remove and replace the wheels is a safe and proper manner

Search Grumpy Goat's YT channel; he has step-by-step on front & rear wheel removal.

Anyone recognise the view which gives away the location of our old smallholding and that was the view from my bedroom as well.

But, should we be worried about the Supply Chain and stockpile spare tyres (tires)?





ps - I’m likely to get my spares in before I wear out the present set (4,500 miles in)

Wouldn't worry about tyre availability it more workshop availability that's the issue at this present time, presumably as a knock on effect from the lockdown delaying services, mot and new bike deliveries last year

Dunlop Mutant Tires Review [An Unorthodox Success]
By Jonathan Handler - August 31, 2022

1500 miles on the Michelin Road 6 GT. Very impressive. Have done a trackday plus 2 touring trips - granted we've not had much rain - but in all respects of grip/feel and comfort I really like them.
I also did the BMW Performance Academy at Trac Mon Anglesey last week on an S1000RR shod with Dunlop Roads- again very impressive tyres. Ridden hard all day by multiple riders and really confidence inspiring.

really like these tyres-Dunlop Mutants that is

I’m still in love with my Metzeler 01 SE tyres.

Lost my rear after a repeat puncture plug failed so only got around 4400 miles out of it.

The new one performed faultlessly for 700 miles over a weekend of mixed weather and roads.

Just fitted a pair of Michelin Road 5's.
Chunky looking tyres. No miles yet.

You will not be surprised to hear I have bought Avon Storm 3D from both outlets :)

I had to go down to Heathrow a few weeks back on my R1200RT and by the time I got from Nottingham to Ashby I'd lost .5 Bar in the back tyre. Quick call to Wheelhouse Tyres at Coleshill http://wheelhousetyres.co.uk/ and I got a pair of new Road 6's fitted free (special offer) within 90 minutes! Great service and value, also it's next door to Bikerworld so you can spend your loose change while you wait!

Course...now I'm selling the RT with only 200 mikes use out of £350 worth of new rubber .... garrggh!!!
