Vredestein ultrac sessanta - mobile fitting ?
« on: 16 January 2010, 09:40 »
Want 4 new tyres.

Local garage wants £540 to supply and fit 4 VUS - I can buy 4 from camskill for £340

But cant really be bothered getting them shipped to my house and then get local garage to sort out

Just checked out e tyres, black circle etc and then don’t appear to list VUS

Anyone recommend a mobile fitter that can get hold of them and fit at a decent price ?

Cheers

Why don't you buy them mail order from Camskills, and then get them fitted and balanced locally ?

By the way the Sessantas seem to get excellent reviews everywhere  :smiley:

£540 is dear for the vredesteins, was just about to buy 4 for my car when I heard about the new Michelin PS3's. Got 4 fitted for £580 all in from ProTyre in Gloucester, which is quite a bit more than the vredesteins, but I'm hoping they are a better all round tyre.

I love my Vredresteins, can get them for £91 each at Flintstone tyres in Parkgate Southampton.

Transformed the road manners compared to the Dunlops prior. Same Reviews as the more expensive ps2's and a third less in cost.

sorry to thread highjack, but are PS3s much better than PS2s?

Michelin are quoting massive wet handling improvements ... http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/news/new-michelin-pilot-sport-3-ps3-232.php

That alone clinched it for me - yes, they are £200 more expensive than the Vreds, but when it comes to an emergency situation, I'd like the re-assurance that I've got the best all round tyre on my car - £200 is nothing compared to even a minor bump!

In the first 300 miles I've noticed they are quieter than my PS2 Exaltos and provide a lot more grip in the wet (but my PS2's were shot).

Bought from mytyres £459 full fitted

Like the idea of not having to deal with delivery myself and one company being responsible for supply and fitting (I know it is sub contracted out by mytres but I pay them)
