A cb360. Tyre choice
Bryanj:
Try M&P BUT make sure they understand that you dont want any subsitution, last time i ordered they sent me a lasetech insted of a me 11, that cock up cost them a fortune as they had to collect and sent me Contis for the same price when they were £30 dearer!!!
paul G:
If you use M&P make sure they are in stock ring them.
I ordered a set of Conti RB2/K112 before Christmas which were in stock according to the web site.
They then said a week, after the week they then said a month.
I got a refund no problem.
Apparently they are all struggling with tyres at the moment.
AndyD:
Might be worth checking National bike tyres.
I had similar issues before Christmas with another supplier but got K82s from National without any problems.
Cheers,
Andy

I have had a rear Avon Trailrider for my Aprilia on order since early November.
They phoned me last week and said about another month.

So it would seem its not that unusual to have to wait ages for a delivery from DT.
I normally get tyres from National bike tyres. They have always delivered within week.
In the end I settled for a set of Metzelers A ME11 3.25-18 front and an ME77 3.50-18 rear.
Here is what I found
National Bike tyres front Me11 3.25-18 118.00 rear 69.00 187.00
Brooks barn 87.00 80.00 167.00
M&P 111.00 68.00 179.00
demon tweeks 67.00 61.00 128.00
It seems that DT is/was the best option. There is a quite a saving in the front tyre ftrom DT.
I do have the similar set on the cl450 except the front is an me11 3.25-19 which is half the price of the 3.25-18
I can live without the tyres until march if I have too....... but having just rebuilt the wheels I would rather get on and finish them. Will a 2 month wait turn into a 3+ month wait.
