RE: PistonHeads and Tyre Giant

[dopamine]

Afternoon all

tobinen - Just occurred to me to look at your profile to see what you drive as it was bugging me that none of the 16000 tyre types we stock were for your car...

If the car you are after is your Mercedes E Class (2002 MY) shown on your profile, the original fitment from Mercedes were the following, with the different sizes dependent on the trim/rims opted for at purchase:

235/45R17 - These can be found here: http://pistonheads.tyregiant.com/235-45-17
225/45R17 - These can be found here: http://pistonheads.tyregiant.com/225-45-17
215/55R16 - These can be found here: http://pistonheads.tyregiant.com/215-55-16

From what I can see we have around 40-50 choices of tread pattern for each of these sizes.

If you have aftermarket rims that need a different size, please let me know and I'll have a look at what we have and see if I can do you a deal on tyres for them

Cheers & have a great weekend PHers!

Can you beat £252.50 on a set of 4 x 205/55 R16 Dunlop Bluresponse tyres? That's through another online site at the same fitter your site recommends (C&J Motors in Rotherham)

[dopamine]

PhillipM - YEP, sure can! PM on its way to you in a minute

Hi Travis

Good to see all the positive stuff from you here and that you are helping the PHers out there

I'm looking for a pair of Vredestein Ultra Vortis - 235/35/18. You don't have Vreds listed on your site so is this something you can get? Best so far are Oponeo who I've used before.

Cheers

Keith

Hi Keith,

Thanks for the post We have trouble sourcing Vreds, but can probably source PS2s which would be a good comparable product to the UVs... Can I confirm the size you specified above is correct though please? 235/35r18 is not so common...

Let me know if you would be interested in alternatives (I fully understand if not BTW) and I'll try and make the discount enough to make it worthwhile for you

Cheers,

Travis

[KeithE]

You're right, 255/35/18s. Glad you pointed that out as getting the wrong size delivered could have been expensive

I'll look at the options when I get in this evening and get back to you.

Thanks

Keith

Travis,
Just dropped you a PM chief.

[PhillipM]

Shiny new Dunlops all around today, no issues, and the fitters were superb - in fact, so helpful and friendly that I'll be using them in future for odd jobs I don't want the hassle of myself.
Thanks Travis!

Just had a look and you don't stock anything in the rear size for one of my cars. Will be needing a pair at some point so was having a speculative look and was a bit disappointed. Size is 265/40R17 with a speed rating ZR. Thats the factory size too!

Hi Travis

Have you received my mails about the MPSS for my Monaro?

Thanks

[KeithE]

Travis

PMed you

Morning all,

Spent the day with Halfords Auto Centres yesterday chatting about tyres, nitrogen, fitting and well cared for alloys

Back at my desk now so will be going through all my PMs and responses on here through this morning

Cheers all,

Travis

Hello all,

KeithE - PMed you back I did try emailing you back, but got an undeliverable message back... so Pmed you instyead

VinceM - Message and voucher gone out to you

The Big G - Out of interest what car is that for? It is a really unusual size. I have passed it on the the buyers to see what we can get our hands on, but us not having anything is not a stocking anomoly, we really don't have anything - and we carry typically 16000 lines!

PhillipM - Great to get the positive feedback - thanks!

Mr E - Email back to you with some prices and options - let me know which way your thinking of going and I'll sort you the dicount code

Twin1 - emailed dicount code out to you

Thanks again everyone for your business and interest - anyone else needs a price, post on here and I'll get it sorted for you.

Cheers

Travis

[dopamine]

The Big G - OK I get it - They are the fronts for the 840i right? Let me know what your preferred tyre is and I'll go find em for you.

Cheers

Travis

Close, it's rears for my 8 series



There is a photo from the handbook to too prove I'm not making up a difficult size

It was more of a passing interest as I'll need some in the next 6-12 months. Most places I have looked didn't stock anything or only the one choice of falken FK453's. Was just interested if it was a mistake that nothing was on your site, what choice was available. And I'm already really glad to find out that you'll do your best to source some when needed which is fantastic news.

Dopamine, can you get me a price on Yokohama Paradas please? 225/40/17. Can't see them on the site?

[KeithE]

Travis

I've fixed the email, thanks. Haven't used that address for years and obviously forgot to change it. Can you resend please

Hi, can you price a pair of Yokohama Parada Spec 2 in 225/40/18 (Mondeo ST220 fitting)

[jamoor]

Why don't you just put your lowest prices on your website so all members can access them instantly and at their convenience? Seems a bit silly to have this quotation thing no?
