I paid £80 for a mIchelin on my first Dynamique adn £80 for to new contis 15s last week

I paid over £80 for the same tyre with the same situation but i live in london where prices are always upped. The Conti Premium Contact isnt a budget tyre, its just not that good.

The thing about mytyres.net is that you have to find someone to fit them after youve bought them, how are garages going to feel for you to pay them to fit tyres which arent theres, surely theyll bump up the fitting charge a lot?

I paid £200 for 4 new tyres to be put on my micra from kwik-fit.. oh the shame.. LOL £200 for 4 sh*tty micra tyres.. ripped off

still you learn by your mistakes.. my mate spent over 400 quid in there on brake stuff.. i dont think his car even needed the brakes done.. all he went in for was a wheel balance...LOL
