Anyone know if tyres are cheaper in France? (like everything else)

Yes, they are.

[CarZee]

But you have to remember to ask for RHD ones!

[apache]

buying anything anywhere other than the UK is cheaper isn't it?

[Thom]

Except a TVR

But you have to remember that if you do buy them from France there is a chance that when you are going to down the road they may jump straight off your wheels and onto a BMW.

There's cheaper whores too! Especially down south like Marseille.

Not all types of tyre are cheaper in France. Had to get an Impreza tyre there last year as I didn't fancy doing the remaining 1500 miles of my holiday on a space saver. £180!!! UK dealer normally charges about £110 - Will carry full size spare next time.

Friend of mine who lives in SW France buys all his tyres in Andorra, apparently the practically give them away there.

Just paid 97 inc vat & fitting per S02 15" for the front tyres on my Chimaera - thought that was an OK price though..
