About Us

Here at Two Tyres we’re a friendly motorcycle tyre specialist with a motorcycle workshop in South East London.

Two Tyres was set up by Chris, formerly of FWR in Kennington. Chris has over 25 years’ experience fitting motorcycle tyres. He’s also joined by our mechanic Dean, who worked alongside Chris for 10 years at FWR tyres. Between them they’ve fitted tyres to thousands of bikes.

Our London Workshop

At Two Tyres London HQ, we have over 2000 tyres in stock at any one time. We hold all the common fitments. We are approved by every major brand and hold direct accounts, which ensures our prices are competitive. If we don’t have it in stock, we can get it for you, for next day fitting.

We’re something of a specialist in tyres for Adventure bikes. We hold around 50% of every Adventure-specific tyre available, from popular road-focused Adventure-bike tyres, to dual sport tyres and even competition-spec knobblies.

We also carry a huge range of tyres for scooters and 125cc bikes and we have a mail order service which is popular with those looking for cheap motorcycle trackday tyres.

Alongside tyre fitting we can also fast-fit any consumables from our London workshop. From chains and sprockets, to brake discs and pads, oil changes and repair work.

Chris

Chris heads up the operation at Two Tyres. He spent almost 20 years running FWR tyres in Kennington and over those years he’s helped thousands of customers get on the best rubber for their bike and riding conditions. He’s a tyre obsessive; just shout out a weird tyre size and he’ll be able to tell you the bike it goes on. As you can imagine, we have to endure this on a daily basis but it does come in handy! He’s a music snob, so if he asks you what your favourite album is, just reply with any of the NOW That’s What I Call Music back catalogue to send him into meltdown.

Ben

Ben heads up the computer stuff at Two Tyres. A long time ago he founded motorcycle website Visordown and spent a decade road testing bikes all around the world. He reckons he’s tested well over 200 different bikes. Years ago he raced in the British Superbikes 848 Challenge and – given half a chance – he’ll bore you with his tale of his best finish, a glorious 12th (or was it 13th?) place. These days he seems to spend more time buying bikes than actually riding them.

Luis

Luis joined Two Tyres fairly recently but don’t let that or his youthful face deceive you. An excellent mechanic, give him your bike and he’ll slide on a fresh set of rubber in no time at all. He loves working on Honda Goldwings (which we find rather weird).  Luis’s friendly smile means he’s always here to help with any questions or queries you may have!

First bike – MT125

Current bike – MT125

Dream bike – Yamaha R1M

Best biking moment – Doing 80mph on a 125 (not on the public highway)

Kris

Kris is our logistics coordinator. An expert tyre wrapper, he can wrap up a pair of Michelin Power GP2 quicker than Kyle Ryde can lap Brands Hatch Indy. He has a passion for tattoos and uses his spare time to ink up South East London’s finest. Kris may not ride but we guarantee he knows more about motorcycle tyres than most bikers. His favourite hobby is taking in weekly deliveries of over 250 tyres. His love for black rubber is quite extraordinary.

Jo

Jo is our lovely office admin manager, she’s always on hand to deal with any queries, mix ups or problems you may encounter. She’s an avid football fan and is always up for a chat about the beautiful game given the opportunity, especially if it involves her beloved Arsenal. Jo prefers two feet to two wheels trekking 4 miles to and from home just to get into work everyday only to be rewarded by Chris’s eclectic music choices (although this is something she is working on!)

As you can see, between us we have a wealth of knowledge and we take pride in matching you up with the right rubber, so that you can get the most from your bike. Just give us a shout with any questions on 0207 205 2205 – we look forward to serving you.
