    Cheap Michelins or Continentals

    Hi

    Anyone know of a place that does cheap tyres? I want branded but can't really afford to pay over £150 per corner. I'm really after Michelins or Continentals. Its quite urgent as Russ at RT's showed me yesterday that my two rears are shot as they are deformed.

    Thanks

    Penny wise - pound foolish?

    Event Tyres (google them) will come to you and are very good, Blackcircles.com are competitive and KwikFit will price-match (grudgingly) on online prices for available stock (although they can be good value online anyway). You will save a fortune, I promise!

    Also, your boots is what keeps you on the road. A few quid economising here may be money badly saved - as you slither sideways on a wet road toward a concrete pillar. Don't ever recommend economising on tyres or brakes - almost anything else but not those.

    www.camskill.co.uk is one of the cheapest i've found.

    I've used them a couple of times now, service is top-notch.

    Cheapest place is near me, Baker Tyres, any top end tyre £85 fitted. Yes any tyre you want, even if it's £150 online.

    Not sure, but hey who cares. Best tyre fitting find I ever found, only a mile from me too.

    Oh yeah thats cash only, V.A.T would be added otherwise.
