devster360 Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 Ok guys, i started a thread yesterday about me having crappy fullrun tyres...need them changing. I need 265/35/18 y speed rating, on the rears, and 235/40/18 speed rating y on the two fronts. Anyone know a decent place to buy them and get them fitted, ie get kwik fit to do it, or buy them online and have my local garage fit them? What would be a good tyre to have on, for both dry and wet? Pref better in wet, as in stoke it always rains! kwik fit had Continental Conti-Sport Contact 2 for the fronts and Pirelli P zero Nero for the rears, total about, well a lot, about 711quid plus fitting. This a decent price or rip off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoff Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I think they're pretty good. Falkens often come as the tyres on a wheel package. Somebody will be along shortly to tell you more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted June 22, 2007 Share Posted June 22, 2007 I bought my rears today!! For me it was a 2 horse race between the Goodyear Eagle F1 or the Dunlop SP9000's I have ordered the Dunlops based on getting a good price locally and the reviews on the internet. I have gone for 255/35/18's at £102.00 + VAT. H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
