I usualy change the rear, as long as the fronts ok. Usualy go for the same make/match tho.

My rears down to 2mm, but the fronts 5mm. The bike came with Conti sports, so I will put another conti on the rear, hopefuly when thats shagged the front will be too, then I can tyry something else.

Yup well 180 is probs a tiny bit cheaper than a 190 but not a great deal in it. Tyre size is just down to personal preferance. Loose wheel will be cheaper than a ride in/ out price. It saves a lot of hastle letting them do it as it aint always easy taking the back wheel off in your home garage. £108 is a good price but I prefer to pay a lil extra and ride in/ out. (would still check the chain etc after tho cos you never know with those guys!:thumbup

Your right about double checking things after tyre changes, some real horror stories with tyres being put on backwards/wrong direction and chains being to tight. Things like that can be life or death.
