Part ex'ing it - just stick any s**t on imo!

Are they right on the limit? If not you could consider swapping the fronts with the backs depending on the rear tyres tread levels if you're only going to have the car for a few more weeks.

Best price i got for Michelin PE2's in 205*45*16 is from Blackcircles: £92 fitted using RENAULT 5% disc code.

Has the place that you are part ex'ing the car into pointed out the tyres or is it just that you know they need doing?

I suppose it comes down to what they are offering part ex.

If its going to cost you £180 say to fit new tyres, are they going to offer you more than £180 on top of the current part-ex price?

If they say they are going to give you £8k with the shot tyres but only £8.1k with new tyres, then clearly its not worth it.

Besides which, I would imagine the garage can source tyres cheaper than you.

I'm very much of the opinion that the quality of tyres shows the level of care you give your car.

I would rather see shot PE2's on the car than new cheap crappy tyres.

First thing i checked when i bought mine was that there was PE2's all round.

Just my opinion tho!

Its getting traded, if it was being sold private I would stick some decent boots on it.

I stuck some reaonable tyres on mine that matched the rears 2 weeks before mine was traded in, as I couldn't bare to stick some budgets on a nice car.

thanks guys.

Goodyear F1's are cheaper than PE2's by quite a a lot...

Maybe just get a pair of part worn tyres for it ??

- I konw that some are against part worn tyres, but that's what you uaully get when you buy a secondhand car.

First thing I do when buying a second hand car is a new set of boots tbh.
