New Shoes pt.2
On the subject of tyres, actually I don’t even need new tyres.. the rear is only ~1000km old and the front will probably last at least one summer..
But anyway; I did some quick calculations:
From mopedreifen.de a set of Pirelli Diablo Corsa’s delivered would be pretty close to 250 EUR.
From a finnish webshop a set would be just under 250 plus shipping (or, pick up is possible, but for me that’s 200 km away..)
So, who do I support? The local guy or somebody abroad? Tough question, when the difference is so small. Compared to the listprices in Finland it’s easy, that would save me at least 100 EUR, even 200…
At least, I am seriously thinking of the domestic offering. A few years back the price differences were huge, but then, I guess the local shops started to wonder where everyone was getting their tyres, because bikes were being sold and people were riding, but nobody was buying new tyres.
I´d buy the tyres in Finland if I were you. Why not support the next local thing?
