Anybody seen a pair deal for Pirelli Rosso Corsa 120/70 + 190/55 ?

Best I have seen is on ebay for £215 delivered ?

There are plenty of old stock 190/50 rears going cheap but I definitely want to stay with the 55 profile rear.

I guess I'm best ordering the eBay ones for £215.

There an Italian tyre retailer / warehouse.

Anybody used them they have good feedback.

Forgot company is called Pneus Center

Nothing on tyreleader.co.uk?

Thanks for looking mate.

Not sure if that's any help.

That's a good price. Have you used these people Kwacky ? Can you recommend ?

I haven't but a few people on a Facebook group have. You can get them delivered to a local garage as well so you can take your wheels or bike and get them fitted there. Saved the hassle of having them delivered to home.

by the time youve paid for fitting are you really saving anything by buying tyres online ?

I think that depends so much on your local tyre supplier and/or if you can get them fitted cheaply. Many places don't want to fit tyres they don't supply anymore without charging a premium for it, which is fair enough.

For me it isn't as i have found a place that is competitive on a fitted price.

i will buy all my future tyres off mike he gives competitive prices and looks after your bike when fitting them

For me I can't be bothered with the hassle of having tyres posted then removing the wheels and going to find a garage that will fit them for a decent price. I like to ride in, get new boots then ride out.

Plus it's a nice ride back from Mike's which is ideal for scrubbing the tyres on the way home.

£217 Delivered from trackday tyres on facebook

Just checked online for the tyre I had fitted last night.

The cheapest I could have it delivered and then fitted to a loose is £6 less than I paid Mike for a ride in job.

I guess it depends on the deals you can get online.

Most places want between £250 and £270 for Rosso Corsa fitted Perkles.

If I get those tyres online for £190 and I pay £10 per wheel for a local tyre fitter I know to fit them, who is a biker and a mate I'm £40 to £60 better off.

Its no hassle either as I always have removed my own wheels. I don't like other people working on my bike (previous bad experiences) and gives me chance to do some rear wheel / chain maintanence also. So a win win for me.

How about some of these Blade?

Check out the profile on these puppies!

No wonder i fell off those.

I like Rosso Corsa thanks Monty. Rode on them for a few years now on the sp and Blade so a bench mark tyre for me and will be good to see how the ten performs on them. Will be my third set of tyres on the ten in 2 months so plenty of comparison to other brands also.

Thanka for the suggestion though Monty.

I sometimes wonder if you just skipped the sarcasm gene

Exactly what Duke has said.

The thing is the Rosso Corsa is a premium tyre and expensive and therefore hard to find discounts. A lot of places on line and eBay for example want £155 just for the rear.
