Recommending Russ's Tyres in Portsmouth!
« on: 08 October 2018, 02:26:36 pm »
if anyone near PO postcode looking for new tyres I can recommend Russ.

rang him Thursday for new tyres, took his suggestion of Avon's (for my Triumph NightStorm)
he sent me a text Friday midday letting me know they had arrived, and hour & half later I was back on the road (after he had sorted an issue with brakes which couldn't have been spotted without taking the rear wheel out!
Full set of Avons fitted for £236 all in, which about price for a rear other brand
(Protyres were asking £55+vat for fitting as its a cruiser!)

he only fits bike tyres and whilst I was there he had a constant stream of punters with all makes & kinds of bike!

only downside is there isn't a coffee machine  :lol (however there is a Maccy D's just down road)

Nowhere near me for tyres but wanted to say that although I don't particularly like cruisers.......I love the Nightstorm with it's twin lights, black paint and it just looks "right". If I was ever to get a cruiser then Triumph would see my money.


Any pics to post ?

Sorry to hear about the circumstance but looks like you sent him with a good show. The bike's a beauty, thanks.
