View Full Version : Best place to get tyres
mozzaITA 27 December 2007, 20:33 Hi all, i need to buy a bridgestone 205 50 r16 87w tyre for my car, best price i can fine is a mobile fitting company quoting £100. Sounds a bit steap to me for a r16 tyre.
Anybody know of any better deals or is it just the norm?
Cheers

coddy2200 27 December 2007, 20:52 Can get Hankooks (which i've used on 2 Scooby's and round Nurburgring and are tip top) for £40 inc vat from Mototrend in Leeds. Then i get ATS to fit and balance em at £10. If your round Leeds area, give em a try (u need to be a trade customer, if your not let me know and i'll order em from my work.....obviously only if your in Leeds/Wakey area.

mozzaITA 27 December 2007, 21:03 Thanks for the help, £100 is the norm cant get bridgey potenzas any cheaper - kind of sucks but cant repair my flat as the puncture is too close to the sidewall!

Just print the screen off mytyres (who are normally cheapest) and they will price match.
I've done this a couple of times now saved nearly £50 a tyre last week on the lexus and nearly £40 a tyre on the scoob a couple of months back.
mozzaITA 28 December 2007, 20:23 YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS BUT 2 PUNCTURES IN 2 DAYS
not sure what to get now as both fronts need replacing, not ruling out that some twat has done this :-(
Im not happy

Could of been an accident on a road you use and the crap on the road hasn't been cleaned up properly, make sure you check where you park at work and at home for any ****, probably stating the obvious there.

Chelspeed 29 December 2007, 11:27 Micheldever tyres near Andover are always worth a phone call if you're anywhere in the south. I usually find that for one tyre they're not cheap enough to pay for the travelling but if you need four the savings cover the costs. They're on 01962 774437.
