Bugatti Veyron tyres - what does a set cost?

[flemke]

A friend seems to have just become the first owner to require a replacement set of tyres for his Veyron.

Anyone care to guess what VAG charge for a new set?

[Marki]

Go on tell us

[dazren]

Let's start the bidding by giving them the bnenfit of doubt at £2k plus vat for the set including fitting. (My 996tt cost £620 all in and the E39 M5 about £530 all in).

Perhaps you can advise what McLaren charge?

[900T-R]

Two or four?

If Michelin tries to get some way towards amortising the development costs on them, methinks a five figure sum (for four) might not be out of the question...

[RichardD]

£400 but then £2400 labour for fitting

OK, forget that £3200, am guessing at £800 each.

[BliarsGoing]

Im joining in the fun with a conservative £3,600.00 estimate.

[Carrera2]

I'll have a rough stab at £1000 a corner plus fitting and Vat.

Go on then. I'm twiddling my thumbs in anticipation.

Let's give anyone else who might be interested a few more minutes to respond.

[Marki]

OK my guesstimate is 3000k GBP ........

[r5gttgaz]

5k fitted.

[baSkey]

£6000

so that'll be c€12000

[smilerbaker]

remoulds or cross plys?

Strictly speaking, £6,000 is a touch less than 9,000 Euros, is it not?

[Marki]

It is going to be an eyewaterng price ,,, knowing VAG it will be way over my ridiculous 3k bid
