    I need a new rear tyre for my bike but been online and I am struggling to find one. The size is 130 60 17.
    Anyone know a good site to get them off? And does it need to be that size?
    Budget is tight!
    Thanks

    OK Gav, re tyre sizes: the 17 is the wheel size so any new tyre has got to be same; the 130/60 is the profile/shape/width of the tyre.On your bike this is really the minimum size but you could go up to a 150.

    Cheapest place to buy? Off the 'net. Do a Google search for "motorcycle tyres in Scotland" or similar.
