Good Price Tyres?

I went to the local village garage/MOT/tyre fitters and got quotes tonight.

Pirelli P6000 225 60 R16 w £105.88 each inc. VAT fitting and balance

Dunlop equivalent £88.13 inc. VAT balance and fitting.

This was with no special discount, and I'd never been there before!

Other discounted prices I've checked have £125.00 P6000 and £100 for Dunlop.

Sometimes it pays to shop local!

Just to slightly change the subject a bit - but have you seen the Kumho tyres that produce either a red or blue coloured smoke from the tyres when drifting or doing such things as burnouts or donuts ? They're not up for sale yet, but could be fun. Although I expect the price of the tyre and the amount of times they're replaced would mount up to quite alot :lol:

Mate of mine told me he could get 19" tyres at trade price!

He came back with a price of £165 inc vat for 235/35/19 for the cheapest tyre available.

I then checked the price from the local place I usually use and they sorted me with two Nankang tyres (235/35/19) for £89+vat each. they are not a very well known tyre but they are Y rated which is 160mph+ :ohmy:

They look fairly competent but I haven't got them on the road yet so time will tell.

A few members here (including me) have had Nankangs on their cars, personally I found them to be noisey and lacking in grip in the wet

Thanks Matt, I couldn't get it open before I see now it ends in an I not a 1. Now I got it.

Works out about the same if there is VAT to pay (not clear on that).

I got a tel. no for used tyres. I do not know anything about them but they had a very smart new van.

01977 670680

I just got it off the side of their tidy sign painted van on the M11 :)

Why not take a look at Eagle F1's? I've got them on the Aristo and they are MUCH better than the Continental ContiSportContact that were on there previously but only in the rain. In the dry they are equal, although the sidewall is pretty weak compared to the Continentals.

I picked up a pair of Eagle F1's for £210 including fitting.
