Michelin is the only make i want, but i cant find a good price.

Currently £220 front and £255 for rears is the best price i can find. Anyone do any better than that?

Have you tried Costco?

They often have deals on Michelin tyres.

It's usually buy 4 get 20-25% off.

But even then, Costco were only about the same price as Camskill for my 18's.

Is that fitted? Or just delivered? If it's just delivered - it might be worth trying here:

If it is fitted, then it seems pretty good - I would echo the comments about Costco though. Also ATS are doing 25% off 4 - http://www.atseuromaster.co.uk/retail-customers-sp...

They're more expensive than both Costco (fitting included) and Camskill (once I've included delivery & fitting).

The Event tyres one is simply more expensive, and the nearest Formula One Autocentre is 45 miles away, so works out more expensive when I include the cost of fuel (3 gallons of VPower).

Ah well, thought it might be worth mentioning...

Having more options is always worth it, and in some cases/sizes they may be cheaper than another supplier - and some may do a discount for buying a full set.

ATS still no good even with 25% off then? I know it was the 'store' price, but they can be quite good sometimes (And open to a little haggling).

Worth trying Camskill or Micheldever Tyres (both can deliver, but you have to fit!)

full set if conti M3's on 19's all OEM fitment for £875. Cheapest and I was very happy with the service. I'd recommend.

That's fine if you want the ancient Conti M3 that is 3 generations out of date (replaced by SportContact2, then SportContact3 and now SportContact5), but if you want a PS2/PSS (which is what I assume the OP wanted when he asked for Michelins) then you're looking at slightly more cash (about £20/corner in this case) for a MUCH better tyre.

Also depends on how desperate you are - I was about to do some shopping around as I figured I still had a few thousand miles to go, and then got a puncture. I found it very difficult to source all four tyres from one supplier in either a PS2 or PSS - I think the rears were the ones that were the problem.
