Bike Tyrestore Raises Sava Prices

Bike Tyrestore has announced that the pound/euro exchange rate collapse has forced the company to increase the prices of its range of Sava scooter and light motorcycle tyres. Speaking frankly in the company’s customer email newsletter, Bike Tyrestore representatives said: “To be honest, sales have been affected, although the Savas are still priced below most of the other ‘leading brands.’ Which is the point we’d like to make. Customers don’t always appreciate that Sava scooter tyres are made in Europe, to at least the same high standards as each of the household names, not all of which are in fact of European production, and the Savas are cheaper.”
