Still your choice though however much you try to justify it!

Always buy the best NEW tyres you can afford. This is a good motto to have. As plenty of others have said, they're the only contact between you and the road.

Part-worns are a complete lottery at best, even if you KNOW where they're from. If you can't afford 18" tyres, you shouldn't have 18" rims.


Keeping schtum. Mostly.

You thought you were doing this:

the point of this post in the first place was to warn others about the bad transaction I've been through with the tyre company. Nothing more.

Unfortunately it came over as 'I did something pikey and now I'm out of pocket WAH!'

Because I had no choice, £150 for the tyres and mot. I wasn't going to pay for other tyres to..


Still your choice though however much you try to justify it!

This, all day long.  You had a choice, you didn't make the right one.  For the money you've spent you could have had new mid-range tyres you could trust and not be being lampooned on a forum.

Locking the thread would be no fun at all.  :grin:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

Why a lottery?

I used the Passat, put them on the rear of the Golf. I could have swapped the rims around if the Passat was 5x100 and would have been the same difference.

Where all my moneys went.

and the best part is your new mid range tyres (that cost the same as your part worns) will last twice as long because they arent part worn  :laugh: so essentially they are half the price because they will last twice as long  :nerd:
