Hiya. I live in the Barry area and need a back tyre. I've just ben quoted £105 with fitting. Is that about standard ? Cheers

I don't think you'll get much better than that. Is that ride in ride out or is it fitted to a loose wheel? Either way i'd probably pay that. 

Check first though how much they'll charge for the latest replacement for the 020 - that being the 023.

When they replaced the 020 with the 021 the price was still the same. Hopefully the 023 won't have gone up too much.

Hi Steve, Yeah , that's the ride in and out price. Thanks for the advice. I'll check the price for the 023.

Barry Tyre Centre, Holton rd do bikes, not sure on prices.

Sixthgear on Barry dock, expensive though.

MG Mobile fitter, will come from Newport, treats your bike like his own, does everything including proper balancing, very very impressed, and reasonable too, £25 cheaper than Sixthgear wanted and my bike never left my garage

From Bridgestone

Consistent sport-touring performance

Bridgestone aims to strengthen its position in the sport-touring sector of the replacement motorcycle tyre market with the launch of the Battlax BT-023 in February 2010. The advanced new tyre significantly upgrades the performance of the
BT-021 it replaces, both in the key touring areas of mileage and wet performance, as well as by meeting the handling expectations of the most demanding sport riders.

023 - 021 = 2
