Ouch. When did tyres get so expensive?

[HertsBiker]

No wonder people opt for budget, even though it's potentially false economy, when mid range stuff can be £120 to £150 per corner... Had me looking at the cheapies as well. Maybe two premium on the back and two budgets up front is ok?

I just paid £139/corner (I think) for 245/40R18 Michelin Pilot Super Sports online.

What sizes of tyre are you looking for where mid-range tyres exceed that?

That's nearly (235s) my size! How much for fitting on top of that? Then it comes out nearly 150 a corner, surely?

My mondeo has had 18s since 2007... So quite a while. Just I never owned it back then hence the shock.

Yes but they are budgets.......

So how do you lot with pilot sport 3's feel about them? Am thinking these are the ones to get.
