 Looking at prices for bt023  and the above webpage has multiple prices/variants of the bt023 at the specified size.
 Do any of you know the difference other than price; surely a bt023 is one thing  that is a bt023?

				How does that work Gents? I'll assume you don't have the tyre fitting gear at home.  :lol 
 How much would a local firm charge to fit and balance for you on a free wheel for example.
 Could some smaller independent places be a bit funny with you asking for fitment as you've robbed them of commission on a tyre sale.

				My local charges me £10 a wheel..and he's happy to do them. Others may have cheaper.

 My local dedicated bike tyre fitter/supplier was happy to ride in fit at £35 a wheel or £15 each if I take off my wheels and bring him them loose.
 I ended up buying from Wheelhouse tyres near Birmingham who had a free fitting offer on a pair I brought metzelers but the receipt said "Prelli fit offer"
 
 Yes Darrsi is right you linked to the wrong size the rear should be 160/60 and your link was to 180

 Varies £10-£15 per tyre for me, but i still save about £40 or more compared to if i rode into a shop to buy a tyre and have fitted.
