Not at all Martin.
It’s interesting to read what people say about all kinds on motorbike stuff.

Agree with you there Kev

Sorry for high jacking your thread Kev BTW!

Aye Martin,

Pleased that you have something sorted to your liking. I wish you many more years of getting out on two wheels for some "therapy".

Good health, Bill

Thanks but I think I'm sorted now.

I took the GPZ wheel out and popped it in to the local tyre place this afternoon and have upon my return removed the RS rear wheel to take when I pick up the GPZ wheel tomorrow.

I don't want to remove the front and back wheels at the same time . The bike is currently in our summer house and there's not much room to work so to ensure the bike remains stable I'll do a wheel at a time.

The rear tyre is a 4.10 18 K181 TT 100 with a date stamp of 2012 on. The tread while legal is now well down. I don't know the mileage because I keep having to change speedos due reliability issues.

 I think the front is a Mitas whcich is what I'm going for as the replacement. Same make is going on the GPZ Ffronnt).

I got a reply from Wheelhouse who will fit my tyre to a loose wheel for £29.50. Not sure if that includes VAT. I also tried Bill's first link. Yes they'll come and do it - for £80. I think not. £60 call out £20 fitting.

I'll also try my local Stealth Motorcycles. I've know Lee there for years since I bought a used Tiger 955i from him nearly 20 years(!) ago....

Had a look at M&P - mostly premium tyres at £120+ but one "buf=dget" model.....
