Maybe we could start a group buy for these ??
There must be a supplier how could do a good deal and I'm sure there must be good demand for these tyres

Hi mate
yeah snow was very heavy, I live on the top of Reigate hill which is quite high. No penguins tho. did not get the car out for three days. But when I did I had some fun in a car park where I play football. I was quite surprised how easy it is to lose control

I was in the market for a set of four. Found them locally at £105 each, then spoke to Kwik Fit and they agreed to do a price match and fit me four for £400. They had originally wanted £144 each !!! Just shows how much margin these big companies have to play with !!
