Got 23k miles on them now near the wear markers, and if i want to buy tyres in the UK it helps to use the Y.

LP,

Check out my post in https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...ead.php?t=5701. I priced some tyres way back, but the problem was with the 3 day delivery.

Recommend you get decent quality rubber. It tends to grip better and last longer, but the Michelins are £468 each!!!!

had a Michelin rear fitted at Motorway Tyres £312.00 incl, the fitter drove round to pick a tyre up from his supplier.

P.S. never did receive my decal and membership card.

Sarge,

Please remind me via PM of the info required by REDCROSS (VIN# etc.) and I will really try to get them in the Post by tomorrow evening. Sorry for the delay, but we are doing 16 hours a day, 6 or 7 days a week at the moment at work, so barely have time to eat and sleep. Good job I can get from Basingstoke to Staines quickly (best time 22 minutes door to door - 38 miles, average speed 103 mph, top speed 145 mph).

Try www.blackcircles.com if in the UK.

I haven't checked it for prices, but have heard from others that it is good for high performance tyres.

Isn't that about $600+ US $s for 1 tire?

Default Re: Tyres

Its time for me to get some new tyres and have been looking round at various tyre website's. I think I am going to go for:

£107.30 Each - FRONT - Bridgestone Potenza RE 050 A 225/40 R18 88Y
£192.10 Each - BACK - Bridgestone Potenza RE 050 A 255/35 R19 92Y Double branding, 92 ZR, NEW.

Cheapest rears were Dunlop SP 9000 for only £164.90 Backs and £100.30 Fronts.

This does not including Fitting which is £10 per tyre plus £1 to dispose of the old tyre.

The best website I found was: www.mytyres.co.uk

Has anybody tried the Bridgestones?

JB
