Tyre prices

[PMJ1]

OMG, whats happened to the price of rubber... went to get two new front tyres for the Cab and got quoted 190 per tyre cheapest to 455 per tyre most expensive... last time I bought tyres I paid 78 quid for 265/35/18 for the skyline.... now trying to get value for money, cant decide on Falkens or Dunlop... big difference in price but as far as I am aware not in performance...might be cheaper to but new set of alloys with tyres for 485 ...? mind you with the pot holes about at the moment I am supplrised if any one has a wheel without a buckle in it...

Thanks, already had a look at them on the web and they are not any cheaper than the local quick fit...

Send them an email stating you found there details on the site, they may offer a better deal

I would be interested to hear how you get on... I always aim to get Companies who will "look after" members...

I had those tyres on my BMW Z4 3.0 SE before I sold it.
Great tyre, looks the business and reasonably priced.

I got mine from Camskill too.

Biggest problem was that local National wanted £39 per pair to remove the RFT and fir the Vredestein. Still worked out a good price though

I've just bought 2 new Michelin Pilot Sports (3) for the front through Pneus Online.

They are the cheapest I have found at £164 each. Ordered online and arrived a couple of days later.

I find you need to seriously shop around to get a half decent price. I would avoid Dunlops on an A4, especially if it's Quattro... you will get 'quattro push' on full lock with those which is annoying...

I ended up going for Goodyear F1 Asymetrics in the end... a good balance between price and performance.
