Mate, that's exactly the sort of bull I want to avoid. I could reluctantly handle the trip to Kwik Sh*t because it's a 2010 Seat Leon but I have a Focus RS on order and I'll take an exception with god if it so much as gets rained on, let alone some tyre thug wrecking the alloys and leaning on the bodywork while having his *** break.

 

Tyres-outlet.co.uk Found my pilot sport 3 for £75 each!! Delivery takes a week though

 

COSTCO.

4 x Bridgestone POTENZA S001 225/40/18 = £271 fitted, balanced etc etc.

They even have 235/45/17's

But there are muppets who still fit Wanli, Autogrip, Matador, Nexen etc etc ditchfinders but quote "no expense spared" in the for sale ad's!

 

Tyreleader I have always found to be good.SJ.

 

I cry a little inside everyone someone comes in to have some Chinese/Indonesian/Korean shyte fitted to their wheels. Even with shopping cars, I just struggle to get my head round why they skimp on the four most important parts on a car where a few notes on each tyre could potentially make the difference between life or death in s emergency scenario.

But then I have people roll in with no rear brakes (see rolled into workshop thread) and Michelin run flats on the carcass with no air in, and are none the wiser that anything is wrong.
