Supply problems of goodyear f1's?
 

Anyone know if there is any supply problems of the above, in 215/40/17 size at least?
Ordered some from local tyre place, said they'd be in next day.... that was 3 weeks ago..

tried to get toyo's and f1's for the past couple of weeks.

everywhere seems to have them on back order around liverpool.

ended up with pzeros in the end

Got my F1 GSD3 from black circles - (internet sale but local fitting) about 2 weeks ago and they were on special offer as well and came next day. Did a good job.

ok ta.. black circles bit more expensive for f1's (£50 more for 4) than local places.. at least I might get them though..

Was it the pzero nero you bought, what do u think of them?

Bargain :D

almost...

Are f1's sourced elsewhere in europe the same as uk supplied ones?

Krazy... ;) Hope you don't mind me jumping in your thread here re:-Good Year Eagle F1's 215/40/17. Don't know whereabouts you are in the country but here in Southend in Essex, (due to recent enquiries of my own needs), all the places I rang had them on the shelf or next day delivery guarenteed. The interesting thing though was the price, this varied from £137, (all in), down to my favourite, (& where I'll be paying a visit to), £98!!! I'd be interested to know the variations across the country for what is the same tyre on the same(ish) car & the same type of fitting service.

Last time I looked they were 91 quid ech delivered to your door!!! Not sure on fitting prices???

Prices for tyres vary vastly. When I tried the F1's about 2 years ago, I paid £50 per tyre. Now that's a little more than cost, so the suppliers have a large markup (if they are a big enough supplier) OR the supplier doesn't sell many tyres and their cost price is high.

Mytyres seems to be the best online supplier right now.

I'm pretty sure they make the most out of supply problems :rolleyes: or our eagerness to buy certain brands/models of tyres. Supply and demand as usual.

If you want a laugh... get a quote for tyres from the aa web site

£172 a tyre... before 10% discount for members..

The scary thing is people actually pay those prices.

Blimey - I've just paid £114 per tyre for Goodyear F1 GSD3 225/40/18!
£172 is taking the p***

I just checked the price for the 18" version - £200 per tyre! (£211 for S03s, £212 for Pzeros). It is worrying that people pay these prices and think they are getting a good deal. How generous of the AA to give a 10% members discount :rolleyes:

Yeah - well worth that AA life membership to take advantage of such great offers from them ;)

Chris - where's the £114 Goodyear price please? (for the 225/40/18's)

Cheers
