195/50/15 Eagle F1’s fitted - £44 each!

[riplash]

Gotta thank Rockport for drawing my attention to this with a post a while back - made use of it now.

Elite in Rainham have Eagle F1 GSD3s in pretty much all sizes, dirt cheap.. beat mytyres and the prices include fitting and balancing.

Very impressed with the tyres too, been on a couple of extended drives to scrub them in and they seem to stick like shíte to the proverbial blanket, with nearly no tramlining, even when compared to the 185s I drove there on.

Yep..

[Dazz]

Cheers man.. done me a right favour.

Kind of cool up there too.. how many places can you play Playstation games whilst you wait for your car!

Dont get too excited fella, there still a bunch of monkeys up there. Most of the workers are no older then 16 - prices are cheap for a reason

When i had mine fitted they stamped the lead balancing weights to the outside of my alloy turbines the monkeys sratched my wheels. Also lost my locking wheel nut key.

Glad to see you didnt get any issues - but they are a bunch of tw*ts up there.

P.S i paid £38 a corner for mine, fitted and balanced - they most have gone up alittle since i had my F1s fitted.

Lol I must have gone on a good day... they seemed alright!

Will check my bolts for tightness though hehe

thats a good price, and £38 a corner, thats an amazing price, were they the same size (195,50,15)

thats the same size as i have (i think, mine may have a profile of 55...) and i paid £50 a corner including fitting and balancing

thats from my local humphreys, but dont worry, was a mate who did them, no dodgy fitting etc (just a dodgy price that the manager didnt know about)

i also paid the same for my pilot sports 4000 miles later (coz thats all the GSD3s lasted me (beware, nice grip, tread depth wont last tho )
