Andy Metcalfe Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Just ringing round for some new rubber and was quoted as follows:- 235/45/17 SO3 = £170.38 each 265/40/17 SO3 = £211.50 each Is this about right or is somebody having my pants down???

Steve Cargill Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Andy, have a look at the link below - you can probably guess the other one!. I've never used these people, but the prices seem OK and they offer free fitting, you just pay for valve and balance. http://www.tyres-sold-online.co.uk/tyres_265_40_17.htm I think Paul Wiffen can get tyres pretty cheap, have a look at http://www.whifbitz.co.uk/japwheels.htm (Edited by Steve Cargill at 4:08 pm on Jan. 9, 2002) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon F Posted January 9, 2002 Share Posted January 9, 2002 Andy - Micheldever Tyres near Winchester are always a good benchmark. Give them a bell. (sorry.dont have the number handy!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eric Kasir Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Just as an indication, I paid about £170 inc of VAT for 265/35 18's SO2's just recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Metcalfe Posted January 13, 2002 Author Share Posted January 13, 2002 Thanks Eric,where were they from? and did that include fitting and valves? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doughie Posted January 13, 2002 Share Posted January 13, 2002 Andy Micheldever tyres will beat those prices by a mile. I would guess by about £50 on the bigger tyres and by about £40 on the smaller tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
