  • How come a tyre for all vehicles, car, motorbike, BMX, road bike, mountain bike all seem to cost about £40? Such varying amounts of material.

    Not many car tyres are £40 any more. Remember £40 buys you a high performance bicycle tyre but a low quality car tyre, there are plenty of lower end bike tyres for £10-15. But car tyres do have economies of scale because they’re made in significantly higher numbers - that’s why they’re comparatively cheaper given the amount of material.

    They’re around £40, we were recently given the option of a £35 one from the last service (went for a £45 one in the end)

  • They must be ditch finders at that price. Half decent tyres will start at around double that

  • Yeah our last ones were £50 each fitted, sounds like bike tyre territory to me!
    How to fit and supply a run of the mill commuting bicycle tyre in a high street shop?
