Hello,

I need to replace the tyres on my CB550, I wonder if anyone can recommend a centre that can do that in or near London? Thanks

SteveD CB500K0:
(as I asked on another thread) where in London.

My IAM Observer is a tyre fitter and does all my bikes. He's also good at spoked wheels and innertubes (which you may find difficult with some modern bike tyre fitters!)

He's currently sourcing a new front Avon Roadrunner for my 500/4

uncannyjack:
sounds promising - (as I said in the other post  ;)) I'm in North London - Archway.

try these for your tyres , i have bought Dunlop TT100'S for my 750's of these people and they offer free delivery  ;), cheers Mick.

SteveD CB500K0:
I wouldn't recommend TT100s if you want to go touring as their "V" profile is good for corners but wears down the centre very quickly (2000 miles from a set on my 500/4 in the 70's)

You will need a 90/90H19 for the front and a 100/90H18 for the rear. These are the closest metric sizes to the old imperial sizes we used to use.
