I couldn't find the Vreds through my work.

Nothing wrong with the Goodyear F1 though especially at £69 a tyre :-)

Omg I've just ordered a set of F1's coming in Friday, I thought I got a good deal @ 99 quid each fitted.  £69 is a right steal

99 quid per tire? you must think christmas came early. price down here is about 200 quid each and that's a bargain

dead serious mate. i have to get a loan every time i change tires... don't know why such a difference in price, i'd think transport costs plus obviously much less choices here in terms of sellers than in the uk

Thank god you've got 18" wheels. It's not far off that price here for 19's.  I've just forked out £187 (inc fitting) for 1 new conti contact sport 5p  :cry:  I'm dreading it when I have to replace both the rears.

Hate to think what they would cost where you are  :shocked:

Not F1's but conti 5p's and 19's, but got mine from blackcircles.com. When comparing website prices, found big variances, sometimes as much as £60 a corner difference.  Black circles and Camskill seem to offer best prices from what I could see.
