Question Michelin 225/40R18 (Xload) PS2 £138... good/bad?

Just spoke to Costco and this is there current price for the above tyres inc vat and fitting (they keep these as stock tyres too so no need to order them in). Is this a good price, doesn't seem to bad to me.

They do offer 20% discount but i was told those vouchers normally come through when your membership is due to run out

£138 ea. is what I paid at Elite in Rainham, and for an extra £70 I had the allignment done aswell. The allignment was quite a surprise as it was well out on what had been put on it 500 miles previous. Changing tyres can put it out so its a good time to get it checked or changed to a better set up. Got chrome valve stems for free too.

Good set up @ elite, ask for Barry who is the contact for ESC/SIDC supporters.

I think £138 is a good price. Black Circles fitted was £151, local tyre places ranged from £200 to £158. Can't recomend costco as I have never used them but elite were careful with the £1000 of rims that I had put on the car. Lots of people swear by them.

Bit too far for me, i'm in Manchester. Costco is just around the corner, i've got no problem with them putting tyres on my PFF7s having seen their work before. So their price is good too. I'll get it booked in for a pair.

Cheers,

Tony.

Don't know anything about Costco apart from that they are at Lakeside in Thurrock Essex. Assumed you were local, sorry. Still a good price though.

No worries, i have done mail order with Elite before and they were very good.

Seems i may have some Continentals ContiSport2s for a good price tho...

Cheers,

Tony.

PS Costco is a national outlet, so there should always be a local one
