I got screwed on the price of my tyres

[Jamie _Swales]

Going to the Isle Of Man tomoz, and had two bald front tyres, not good when theres no speed limit there and im planning on making use of that fact.



Tried a few garages ths morning, cheapest i could get fitted today was £211 for two tyres.

Screwing b*****ds!!!!

Unlucky? Wouldnt it have been an idea to check your vitals a few days before the eve of your trip?

Yeh, i tried at the weekend, and then been working hard all week before today.

Never mind

I paid £103 for a michilen piolt exalto 205 -45- 16

£80.40 each at mytyres but then have to find somewhere to fit them for a fiver or tenner each. So unless you had somewhere like that to take them you probably havent done too bad considering the last minute nature of purchase.

 

[AliasOmega]

£93 from kwik Fit on a price match.

 

[rory182]

£78 fitted at costco

 

[eltel21]

Puncture with no spare. Kwick fit mobile £139.

So costco are ven cheaper than mytyres. Wonder how much 195/50/15s are? May be worth joining as saving will probably cover joining fee.

Overrated overrated overrated, quite a few on here agree with me too! Shouldve got Goodyear F1s or Toyo T1-Rs!

 

[BRUN]

ive had Eagle F1s and the Michelins are better

and if you look on MyTyres you can have tyres bought from them fitted for free too at loads of places

 

[Fred@BTM]

the michelins are crap IMO

but we sell them for £75 (2-3 week) delivery
