Good websites for cheap tyres?

[rayyan171]

I believe someone mentioned that you can find some cheap tyres online, as black circles want £270 for one tyre for our X5. Has anyone got any cheaper websites for tyres?

Do you want good tyres cheap or do you want cheap tyres?

Not looking for ditch finders - want to keep my warranty and need star marked tyres to do so. There are a select few tyres for our car and we are trying to keep to the same brand. They are Bridgestone Dueler H/P RFT Star Marked - 315/35/R20 tyres.

Best, 'Ive got an X5, but i can't afford to maintain it properly' thread ever.

Never cheap out on tyres.

Mytyres have Vredesteins for £210 fitted or Falkens for £186. If you want premium brands you are paying £270+ wherever you go. Quite why an X5 needs such rediculous size tyres is another question.

Think its down to it being 20" rims that are staggered (for 50:50 weight balance), it being a 315hp car that can go to 150+mph, even though it is 2.2tonnes! Quality tyres are needed for these cars to be at their best.

My local independent says that 90% of lease cars will have budget tyres put on them to replace the first set.

That, i can believe.

Am sure you know but the transfer boxes can be sensitive to tyres (hence why starred tyres are needed to maintain warranty ie non starred tyres cause issues).

If the other 3 are worn I'd bite the bullet and renew the lot as tread needs to be largely consistent for rolling radius consistency.

Roll on

I am simply trying to get a better price for what are already very expensive, I know a lot about the transfer box issues as they have very complicated 4WD systems. Not looking for ditch finders, just a better price on some bridgestones.

I think bills upwards of £2000 on repairs alone show that we can maintain it. The car isn't leased either.

You mentioned it being in warranty so why £2k on repairs?

Who the hell decided that was in any way a sensible tyre size for a 4x4?

The Cayenne is on the same width/profile 19" all around. It has 340BHP & is around 2400kg. Mine has just gone onto Vredesteins 275/45 x 19" 108 Y rated. That & and a geo check has hugely improved the general drive & handling. Also quieter which came as a surprise.
Edited to say these came from a local indy tyre dealer at £150 per corner. I could have shaved a few quid off but not a lot.

A question for people who order tyres online for supply only; is there any secret to arranging the fitting and balancing? The few places I've found who will actually fit tyres they haven't supplied want the equivalent of the money saved on the supply (or more) to do so.

Seized callipers weren't covered, neither were seatbelt latches or booster packs.
