So went away for a week (work related) to the lovely area of Parkgate (M27 J9) and after getting back, found one of my tyres flatter than a pancake.

Took the car to the local 'tyre specialist' expecting to pay a small fortune for two new half descent tyres, and upon inspection (googling) it looks as though I wasn't completely ripped off!

Vredstein Ultrac Cento x 2 including valves, balancing, fitting and tax came to £209.90.

The same tyres on Camskill (with valves, balancing, fitting and tax included) have come to £193.66

Difference of £16.24 - that doesn't seem too bad, or does it?

Are these tyres any good?

I always compare tyre prices to camskill prices. That sounds like you got a competitve deal there. Difference of £16.24 is no loss really.

I live in park gate! Nice area but not a great deal goes on here! Just the village inn pub for entertainment really!

Park gate is just full of estate agents and not much else. Has got the best looking Chinese restaurant ive seen though. Never been in it but i bet it's expensive.

Talisman nice but I worked there many years ago, sorta puts you off eating in said establishment for the future, lol.

The Chinese in my opinion is overpriced and nasty food! But that's prob just me as its seems to very busy most the time!

That's because we won't pay be ripped off like people in the South East do. We can afford to wash our cars as well .

There did seem to be a lot of Impreza activity around Parkgate / TGI Fridays, either that or the big bore exhaust brigade were partying near by.
