Tyre prices

[Mark_172FF]

Had my 172 Ph2 6 months now and the tyres are starting to wear down!

What kind of prices am i looking at for a full set of average tyres?

Get on the interweb, and search for Camskill, blackcircles, pneusonline and mytyres.

Browse until your heart is content.

Then come back and use the search function to see what others have recommended.

Price for 16" will be anything between 200 for four wan-li-ling-long-arrow-speed-sunny's

Or up to around 500 for some mich-conti-yoko-years.

Anything inbetween for some uni-toyo-kook's.

spend the most money you can.

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

I wouldn't scrimp on them

Get yourself a coffee and have a read through the tyre poll thread at the top of this section. Plenty of info in there mate

Cheapest I've found for ps3's by over £10 PT.

buying tyres on the net is all good if you know a friend who can fit them

if not its not a good idea

please elaborate with your cryptic posts, thanks.

 

[AdDaMan]

Yeah wtf?
You just go to any tyre place and get them to fit them...

Just ordered some hankook evo v12 in 205 45 16 for £65 delivered from camskill. Bargain.

loosing your job over? what a load of crock

I've never ever bought tyres from a tyre 'place' I always buy part worns on dodgy ebay deals and local place always fit them for me, and never bat an eyelid and that goes for every local place I've ever lived....well locally to over the years

 

[Mr Plums]

I buy mine off the net and then its a tenner a tyre fitted and balanced at my local tyre fitters, it works out alot cheaper than getting them to order them in for me.

They always ask me where i got them from and say companies like camskill are killing their small business.

I bet their margin is a less than £40 on a set they've supplied.

What do you mean?

When i got a quote off them for the tyres supplied and fitted, it worked out a lot more than me supplying them and going to them for fitting only.

I saved quite a bit doing it this way, if thats what you meant.

 

[Archtronics]

Most don't mind if you supply parts your still paying them money for a relatively quick job, I think most businesses would take a small hit on margin for repeat business.

They say online shops are killing their business but I suspect if they pushed their services rather than sales, they'd probably make more money. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of money in tyres.

Right, ok.

 

[plymcl172]

just saying, would I risk my job over a tenner? nope !

Random??

 

[Adamm.]

Lol!

 

[172Ben]

You need to elaborate more. No one has any idea wtf you are on about???

If your place of work doesn't allow fitting of tyres someone else is supplying, that's your loss. I've never had an issue and I've been doing it for the last 10 years I've been driving.
