boxster s => need (cheap) new tyres in London

[erics]

Hello...

This has probably been done again and again, but i need advice as to where to get a set of michelin pilot sport new rear tyres for my boxster s 550 spyder.

I think the size is 235/35 zr 18.

Is there anything in particular i need to know when i swap tyres? Like the speed rating?
Not too familiar with all this.

I have looked at michelin pilot sport on www.blackcircles.com and they are 236.58 each fitted... (porsche spec). Expensive or ok? any other alternative?

If you can cope with 30mins on the M4 this this lot will probably give you the best price:

Bracknell Tyre & Battery

Hurst Garages, Unit 1
Longshot Ind Est, Longshot La, Bracknell, RG12 1RL
01344 411323‎

I've been using them for years, including a 18" 'N' spec Bridgestone on my Cayman (£170).

Get there early, be prepared to wait. Although there's a greasy spoon over the road!

Would likely be cheaper at Elite in Rainham Essex?

I bought 4 new tyres for my GT3 for 700 quid there!

Have always used them.

Iv always used www.event-tyres.co.uk, ok wasn't for a porsche, but still always been really good for me!

Brett, i am selling the car and promised the buyer a set of fresh identical rear tyres...

Price wise for a set of michelin pilot sport 265/35 zr 18 N rated, here we go:

+porsche center east london £626 for the pair fitted (£313 each)... official porsche 'stealers'
+Black circles £236.5 each... fitted
+The linky above £211.56 each... fitted

Any more help to decrease these prices please help... I keep looking...

£407.73 fitted for two N1s or £423.00 for N2s (not worth spending extra cash if you're not benefitting though).

Event Tyres did mine a couple of weeks ago. Very professional and took care of my nice alloys.

thumbs up for event tyres!

They came today.

Own van with full equipment (unlike black circles who use third parties for fitting).

The chap Ricky has been doing this for 10 years on most exoticas.

He is very carefull as to not damage anything.

Really-really good and reasonable prices. I would use them with my eyes closed again.
