can anyone recommend who I can go to to get a new front tyre?
Not some front counter knob that know shit, and will sell whatever is on the shelf...

bearing in mind, the FJ1200 is pretty hard on front tyres being a total curb weight including me at around 350Kg and a tyre that can handle speeds without falling to bits after 2,000km ie if I can get 10,000km out of a 1/2 descent tyre, I'll be happy.

current front Tyre is a Micheline me880 120/70 b17 mc 58v

Rear is a battlax bt45r 150/80x16m/c and I am happy with it's performance.
