Ok i know the best type of tyre but who sells them,? anyone know any good retailers for price/choice in the hampshire area? :smiley:

I'd use the internet. Try www.mytyres.com if you think you could find a fitter, or www.blackcircles.com and get them supplied straight to a local fitter (but don't use their mobile fitters as I've seen complaints on here about them and you have very little come back in terms of warranty)
-
As wantmygti states, after checking the exact size, including the load/speed index, log onto mytyres or blackcircles - get a ball-park figure.
Then look in yellow pages, and phone around a few, shopping around for prices. On my S4 boots, I managed to get nigh-on £80 per corner knocked off some prices - now that is worth half a day on the blower!
Avoid Thik-Fit at all costs, and give these a try http://www.protyrefareham.co.uk/ - they have a nationwide reputation as being truely excellent - and pretty close to Phil too!

Just to clear things up, is that your real name??

Micheldever tyres are one of the the best in that area. I've been very impressed with their price and service. Honest John (Telegraph) always recommends them too.

So do I take it you are going for Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 ??
PS, make sure you get the "Extra Load" or XL boots! :wink:

yes, i would like too, and ask them to rotate rears to the front,and put the new michelins on the back. im hopeing a local tyre specialist would stock those on the shelve.

Ok i know the best type of tyre but who sells them,? anyone know any good retailers for price/choice in the hampshire area? :smiley:
Bracknell Tyre and Battery are really cheap. In fact I read in price comparison in a paper a little while ago that you couldn't buy tyres anywhere cheaper.
Maybe not too far to travel from Hampshire
Bracknell Tyre and Battery - Longshot Ind Est, Longshot La, Bracknell, RG12 1RL - 01344 411323
