Whats cheapest place for tyres atm? Black circles? if so anyone got discount codes?
Help a guy out! :laugh:
-
Used camskill a few times and got the tyres next day both times. Cheapest at the time too.
What tyres you going for? Different places will be cheapest for different tyres

I recently got a set of Goodyear Eagle F1's all round on mine for £87 a corner, which I thought was a bit of a steal! got it through Asda tyres believe it or not! This also includes delivery, fitting and balancing at your local garage of choice.
What made it even better is I priced up the exact same tyres through the garage I used and it would have cost me £105 a corner. :laugh:
-
I've just bought 4 new Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 from Tyreleader at £320, so £80 each. That's price delivered but not fitted. I'm rather picky about who handles my wheels, so I'm happy I can get them delivered then choose my favourite place to fit.

how much you normally get charged for fitting per corner?

What Pilot Sports you got on? I believe the general consensus is that the best tyres for the GTI are currently Michelin Pilot Super Sport, Continental SportContact 5P and Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2.
2016 sees the launch of new UHP tyres from each of those companies and so this recommendation may well change. Michelin are releasing the Pilot Sport 4 which I have heard will be more performance orientated than the slightly more touring biased Pilot Sport 3. Continental are releasing the SportContact 6, which is the OE tyre on the new Civic Type R. I have the Goodyear F1 A2 currently and am very impressed with them in terms of performance and so the new Goodyear Eagle F1 A3 was the obvious choice for me especially with the price difference to the other 2. My current set has lasted 35K too with rotation from front to back.
I go to a place that uses top of the range Hoffman touchless tyre fitting machines and pay £12 a corner if I remember right from last time I used them.

The new continentals used on the fk2 type r are meant to be a brilliant tyre. I've came from an fn2 so member on forums and Facebook groups and the new owners rate them highly.

Often your favoured tyre dealers/fitters will match internet prices to get the sale if you ask them.

Place I used to use will now only fit tyres that are supplied by them, so booked in with Black Boots in Chesham. £20+VAT per corner to fit and balance with their touch less machine :/ Their alignment service is highly rated though and I'm having a 4 wheel geometry check at the same time
-
looking for pilot sport 3's seen £83.19 on mytyres seems okay...

Tyres are such a debatable question ! Personal choice seems to rule the head, price, how we drive. One mans spirited drive maybe another mans dawdle home. My choice at the min are Michelin pilot super sports, they were very good in the warm summer weather, now we have moved to much colder and wet weather I had doubts, but wow they are awesome in the wet with standing water hardly having an impact. In the cold and damp this weekend I put some pressure on them in a spirited drive Sunday afternoon, very impressed with fast cornering, tightening lines through long roundabouts trying to get a reaction from the front end, quick direction change with plenty of power didn't bother them a bit. Hard braking didn't upset them either tracking straight and digging in well to take the speed off. Wish my brakes were better though, any brake upgrades people recommend ?
Tyres are 225 | 35 | 19 Michelin pilot super sports - not the cheapest but very impressed

Around £150 if you are running 19s ! Based on what I've experienced so far I would pay that again next time if they carry on performing and the wear rate is reasonable, if they last me 3 years the price fades into nothing compared with fuel costs and other associated running costs over the same period.

When I got new tyres on the work van at ats I asked about tyres. Guy said 465 I'm sure it was for 4 pilot super sports supplied fitted and balanced. Seems quite reasonable :smiley:

Just checked out the same site and tyre for the monza's and they start at £117 :(. Still...they appear to be the cheapest around and would have never thought about this cheers.

These look to get awesome reviews and often get compared to the Goodyear's! And £52 a corner excl del and fitting seems bloody awesome. I think I'm gonna get me some of these and see how they get on.
Thanks a bunch.

I ran these on my old A3. Easily outlasted all the other brands and grip was just as good :smiley:
Fronts lasted 15k and the rears still had approx 3mm left adter covering over 20k. Got a set going on the A6 on Monday; can't wait!!
