pinger

I think I've got a slow puncture on my 97 Sport. It's currently fitted with nasty budget tyres so I've been looking around for better alternatives.

The only place near me that can check/change the tyre is Kwikfit and they have the following choice in 195/60/15 (prices are each/fitted)

Budget £32
ArrowSpeed £40
Alba £43
CEAT £54
Michelin £82
Firestone £64
Centaur £65
Dunlop £72

I'm hoping they can repair the puncture to give me chance to shop around abit more, but if I do need new tyre(s), what's my best bet?

Thanks in advance

None of the above!

Hi those prices dont seem to hot - see below;

FIRESTONE F705 53.00
PIRELLI P6000 68.50

I would recommend the Pirelli.

All prices fully fitted at a centre local to you (Kwik-Fit's are subject to VAT and fitting!)

For more info or price checking call Aryan on 0845 200 0022.

Hope this helps.....

I found my Firestones to be slippy in the wet.
Pirelli's are ok for the price usually. Get the best you can afford as its your contact with the road - know what I mean

Get the budget option, just to keep you on the road, then shop around with a view to replacing all four with decent rubber, sometime soon.

Another thought. Instead of buying new rubber all round, check out the for sale section for some 16" wheels. You can get clean wheels, with decent rubber (and enough tread to last you another 6 months) for around £200. It's gotta be worth a thought.
