New tyres

[rowdyboy]

Another post on the eternal tyre debate.
I've just had 4 new Michelin Pilot Sport 3's fitted. I got them fitted at Costco, as they have an offer on at the minute (20% off) which took the sting out a bit and made them the same price as lesser ones.
I was hoping to get Vredesteins again but couldn't get any till late January!! (that's when Vredestein UK are expecting their next delivery). The price has jumped up to £145 per tyre now, they are well worth the money, it's just a shame I needed tyres now.

Go on ebay and get them new for cheaper...the Vredesteins were on there for £112 each...delivered in a week...
How much were the michellins out of interest?
Just got 2 new Goodyear f1 asymetric 2's for 258 from ebay

Yeah but by the time you get them fitted, the price rises. A mate paid £20 per tyre to get them fitted.
The Mich's were £625 all in for 4.

You obviously didn't go here mate.


My local charges me £40 cash for all 4 fitted and balanced!
