Half of Bike Tyrestore Scooter Sales are Sava Tyres

With increased scooter registrations and second hand purchases driving tyre sales, Bike Tyrestore has revealed a fascinating insight into what the market looks like. The short story is that almost half (49%) of the scooter tyres Bike Tyrestore (BTS) sells are Sava products. And when you consider that BTS is one of the leading two-wheel tyre wholesalers in the country, this is not an insignificant amount.

Looking at the figures you have to take into account the fact that BTS is the UK Trade Distributor for Sava, based in Slovenia, so the results are statistically biased. However, company representatives believe that the lead in sales is so large that it has implications on the overall market.

Where the total market is 100% BTS’ scooter tyre sales league table looks like this:

Sava 49%
Deestone 14%
Bridgestone 11%
Michelin 8%
Avon 5%
Continental 5%
Pirelli 5%
Dunlop 2%
Metzeler 1%

“We’re selling a lot more scooter tyres this year than previously. Maybe the cost of fuel is finally pushing commuters towards lower profile two wheel transport, as has always been forecast to happen,” Bike Tyrestore representatives commented in the company’s in-house newsletter.
