Ok guys, time to replace my front tyre. Currently got a conti on there, I have been quoted 83.90 for an avon storm. Does that sound about right? That includes fitting, vat etc.

Rear is a storm, seems like a good tyre, was on the bike when I bought it

The storm is a good tyre why only the front?? normally get 1 front to 2 rear. the price seems ok for a single tyre.

For a pair of Avon storms £155 free fitting on loose rims .
I would buy the tyre now ready for when you need it as the price is going to go up.
I like the avon storm st tyres i have on the 650 bounce

Will be getting Avon Storms when i get back from Italy, Think i might just stick a rear Brigdestone on to go with, as the front is ok. The front and rear Bridgestone's will probably be destroyed by the time i get back, ready for new Avon Storms.

That would make sense (how about a you tube burn out before you get the storms)
