What's the best price for 18 tyres. I am going to need 4 very soon
What's the best to go for ?
-
Goodyear eagle F1 Assymetrics seem to be widely regarded as the best by most on here, as far as price i've no idea! :wink:

I just bought 4 Micheln PS3s for £545 from a local tyre dealer in Cheltenham and claimed the £50 fuel credit card back which happens to be a mastercard.

Should get a good discount buying 18 tyres :grin:
On a more serious note i use to use the Goodyears but the last 2 sets i have bought the Yokohamas,
I find they have Great stability, Quite, very grippy and very good even in the wet conditions,

You may want to think about some winter rubber tho for this time of year :smiley:
-
Thanks for the replies. I knew someone would point out the 18 tyres bit oops :smiley:
-
Yes as Neil says best stick some winters on for this time of year but if you are gonna go for the ASM F1's don't pay anymore than £485 fitted, this is what I paid about 6mnths ago...

I can't afford 2 sets of tyres. I am looking for a set of all year tyres

I've been offered Monza shadows with good tyres. My only issue is how do you tell that the monzas are genuine from a pictures ?
-
If you've got a Costco card or know someone who does 4 michelins are 20% off at the moment, all inclusive of fitting disposal etc.

Great website, lots of really helpful reviews. Scroll to bottom to see the 'top 10', GY Eagle F1s number 2 :whistle:
http://www.blackcircles.com/order/tyres/search - This place has some good deal IMO. Crazy amounts of clubcard points to be had also on some deals :nerd: AND you can pay monthly if you wish to... :smiley:

Just be wary of the prices of Costco Michellins. I got my daughter 3 tyres from there a few months back and found I could have got them much cheaper from one of the online suppliers even throwing in fitting.
I usually look around at prices first but had always got my tyres from there in the past and nowhere could touch the prices so never bothered to shop around first!! DOH. With 20% off though you should be fine.
-
Aye, without the 20% discount I would probably go elsewhere, however the caveat is that you have to buy 4 otherwise the deal won't be accepted.
You can however only get two fitted let's say and go back another time to get the others done.
Remember new ones go on the front first not the back understeer is better than oversteer.

My Costco won't put new tyres on the front. They have signs all over the place that the new tyre will be placed on the rear and the rear will go on the front.
The first time they told me this I had an argument about it with them but they wouldn't budge.

Ask the seller who there made by? MK5 = BBS and MK6 = Ronal, also ask for a pic of the inner wheel that clearly displays the VW badge and Part Number...the MK6 Shadow part number is 1K0 601 025 BA FZZ, don't know the MK5 part number but I'm sure someone will come along with that info...

^^^and if there from where I think there from and they are gens then that's a good price....

If you buy winters now, then a set of all season in the spring, although you will have bought 2 sets in 6 months, you will still have the winter tyres for next year. You can only wear one set of tyres out at a time, so in the long run, it doesn't cost any more money to have winter tyres.
