Got mine for 71 each quid all in (fitting balancing and VAT) so thats 280 quid the lot and me driving out a happy man. Where?

Bracknell Tyre and Battery - which Humphries will price match and knock a further tenner off

 

Got my 215/40 17s on my MY99 for under £300 all in - well chuffed. Tyre place in High Wycombe and as far as I am aware no special deals/offers etc.

 

What the Blazes???

Why are tyres so cheap down South.
Are you on a special discount or are you a regular punter.

The mark up on tyres must be huge. Think I am in the wrong game.

Thought 376 was a top price now I feel hard done buy. Glad I havent bought them yet.

 

Just rang Bracknell they want £324 fitted.

 

Where in High Wycombe? I hed some in the near future.

Bracknell Tyre or Humphries?

Not on any special price or anything.....
I got mine around October at Bracknell Tyre and Battery for 71 quid each, two previous in august for 75 quid each and ScoobySnack phoned them a month or so ago and the price was still around 70 quid each which he got Humphries to price match and beat.

??????????

 

Last Saturday 205/50/ZR16 Eagle F1'1s were 310 quid all in at ProTyre Bristol Road Gloucester, I bought 4 and they are brill !!
1st tyre swap from RE10's !! Wow what a transformation, a different car. Also SO3PP's were quoted at 420 all in and had them in stock !!

Just put 4 new F1s on mine for £320 - from Charlie Browns in St.Helens - the guy who gave me the quote was Kevin I think

Cheers

Steve

Bit mean of your old man selling you the car with a set of bald tyres on it - or have you just been enjoyng it a bit too much

 

Cheers for the info Steve I will be giving them a call right now.
Are you going karting on Saturday?

Nick

 

Charlie Browns in St Helens would only do them for £520.
Said he did £320 as a one off and lost money on it.

I am just going to go to Jim Jeffries as they have them in stock.
£376

Tyres are so expensive up North????????????????

 

Got some Goodyear F1s this morning from MeritTyre in Woking. They originall quoted £476, but when asked to price match £316 from Braknell Battery and Tyres then managed it for £300 all in! They also filled it with Nitrogen rather than air.

 

Nick - I'll be at the Karting - already paid - are any of the other Warrington boys going to be there?

I had to do a bit of negotiating to get the price I did from Charlie Browns, I think I might have tried the 'price match' angle as well, as I was ploughing my way through the yellow pages at the time, and had a lot of info - bit of a bugger if he won't repeat the price though - no more free publicity for him then!

Got 4 215 40 17 fitted for £330 at Elite in Essex

 

Nick,

Tell me about it. I managed to get a set of 4x17"'s for £200. Local garage then charged me £20 cash to get them fitted/balanced. I supplied the flush fitting valves, but it was still the deal of the millenium for me. Can't say where I got them from, but it was a one-off price at the time.

The usual suspects (Kwik-fit, Budget, etc..) where quoting over £500 !!!!

As you say it pays to shop around.

Stefan

 

Nick,

Just saw that your post was for 16"'s. The trade price sounds high to me as I got 4 17's @trade for a lot less.

Stefan

 

Where in High Wycombe? I hed some in the near future.

David
