Tyres prices dependant upon car model?

[Chris_H]

Is there actually any difference between these tyres? Looking on Blackcircles, there's a list of four of these tyres, all with the same product ID, but with varying prices depending upon car model.

On the face of it they seem to have the same specs, however I know companies like Porsche can agree special compounds with the tyre manufacturers and hence inflate the price

Not sure if the likes of Lexus do the same though - I wouldn't imagine so.

I would recommend calling your local independents first, as mine always beat the online prices (without even asking) from blackcircles/mytyres and they are fitted!

n rated tyres for my 944 were the same price as non n rated .it does look as if they are playing a bit of a game with the pricing there .
