Where do you guys buy your tyres? Any good mail order places worth checking for good price/product?

In aus.motorcycles on Sat, 24 Dec 2011 09:18:19 +1100 BY the side of the road means you have to carry fairly solid tyre levers and appropriate patches. Some say you can't use glue ones on motorcycle tyres, they get too hot, you have to vulcanise them. Me, on the tubed bikes I either sacrifice the tube and use the foam goo to get me home, or I remove the wheel and hitch hike. Used both methods, both work. The goo stuff is not all that good at keeping the tyre inflated so not great for major highway work, the hitch hike method is chancy. But one or the other is more to my ability than hoiking a tyre off Borrani rims and getting it back on again. Zebee
