ok guys im sat at the tyre place using their internet to check the forum, while waiting for 4 tyres to be fitted!
Costing me £160 all in for 4 Pirelli tyres fitted! Is this good or bad? How much do you guys pay for tyres?
what are you all up to on this sunny day?
-
I dont think thats too bad to be honest, i have paid alot more for 4 tyres anyway.
well i am just going to be sat here waiting for the footy scores to come in hoping that preston dont throw it away. then i might go for a little drive :cool:
-
mneh, im sunburnt waiting for tyres for 2 hours outside tyre place, grrr... might go jetwwash car for freea t the dairy cos my mate works there!
-
might as well, new tyres so will have that white wax stuff on them still so you can wash it off
-
not too bad, I can get 15" toyo proxes fitted for £35 a corner round here :)
-
I'd say thats pretty sh!t!
Pirelli's are crap tyres no grip at all especially in the wet, I got 2x Toyo Proxes T1-R & 2x Toyo Proxes T1-S 195/50/15" brand new including fitting & delivery for £152 and they are far far better tyres!
next time check out: TopGear.co.uk (delivers & fits to a local center near you)
-
ahwell, diudnt think it was bad, it was the most reasonable i got round here!
-
i paid 200 for a mobile fitter to come to my home to fit my tyres to my zenders, balanced etc..cant remember the make of them now? god..i need me cab on the rd!
Yours sorted yet han?
Dinx :kiss:
-
i work at a ford main dealer so my mate gets me tyres on the cheap lol
-
cant be bad!! :wink:
-
I'm currently after 2x 195 45 15s for the Golf and 2x 225 40 18 for my leon cupra R - I'm discovering I could put 4 tyres on the golf for the same price as one for the leon :(
-
yeh and if any of my tyres get low i could use runners for a bit lol
the tyres i've got on mine at the mo were 25 quid a piece!

Yours sorted yet han?
Dinx :kiss:
sorted? the cars been at the garage for two days and im sooo upset, and it took an idiot RAC man 2 hours to look at it, in the end i had to give him the haynes and prove that the fuel pump is not under my seat, and what he was testing was not the pump. Idiot! he wasnt even old enough to tow me to the garage so i had to wait for another flatbed Grrrr!
and to top things off, he then used the haynes to try and find the problem - by looking at the carb engine sectoin, i told him it was a GTi and tbh, you'd think an RAC man can tell the diffrence between multi-point injection and a carb engine if i can!?!?!?!?!
AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHH rant over now guys (but there will be mroe to come i promise)
-
^^^^ i know how you feel han, mine has been in the garage all week, the guy has tested every thing and has set it up but when he went for a road test it started to do it again, he reckons its the fuel pump but i told him i had it replaced last week! he isnt sure whats wrong with it! not good!! bloody k-jet!! :angry:
-
have you tried relay?
-
yeah he has tested it all, bit random tbh! :sad:
-
grrrrrrrrrrrr
-
thats right han..... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :grin:
-
mines all tested too :(
-
is yours having the same problem as mine then han?? :undecided:
-
han later cabs have the fuel pump in the tank under the rear seat ;)
-
could be worse, could have to drive a mondeo estate every day
charcole filter ? crappy tank ?
-
nope - metering head... :cry:
-
expensive ?
-
not really - but the car gunna be in the garage a week so that be expensive, altho i've saved on fuel :laugh:
-
i suppose
keep looking at cabs still not sure if i could pull it off tho
-
so what was up with the metering head han?? :undecided: :smiley:
-
fuel aint coming out. :grin: thats all i know!
-
All i'll say is it just proves my theory that Cabbys are for women purely cos women can only look good in 'em, and women.. like money being spent on them and like to be irrational in their behaviour :grin:
Hope everything gets sorted Han :wink:
-
thanks, got a metering head arriving tomorrow, will keep you all posted!
-
It'l be right, Beryl's just very stubborn :smiley:
-
hmm... im at work with anticipation!
-
Dont worry it will be fine, its just the garage across the road from you are quite exspensive. Id be more worried about the labour costs, the work will be fine, and Beryl will be brapping along shortly :grin:
-
they're not expensive, i dont have to take it back a million times like paragon garage.
plus they do odd bits for me all teh time, like when i need to top up oil and coolant they dont charge me, an d they do my tyres!
-
You took it back once, how many times did them lot screw up your gears tho?? :rolleyes:
Hannah they charged you £10 at Paragon to fit a linkage, and it was there fault a par was already broken..
-
now wait a minute, wasn't this thread supposed to be about tire prices ;)
-
you both need to f'ck each other, there is unfinished business there! lol come on, get it on!! :grin:
-
:laugh: no! i use a garage who i trust, and i pay a good rate locally, its not worth me paying out half a tnak of fuel just to get to a good garage tbh! makes it not worth while!
Metering head has finally arrived, after 4 days! argh! might get it fitted this afternoon, if not i'll have to wait til next thursday, god damn the f**king bank holiday.
I WANT MY CAR BACK it's been over a WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!
