Rear tyres...

[jamespconnor]

I'm sure this topic has been done to death but I can't find anything specific enough on the PH search.

I just got quoted £376 each fitted by a main dealer . I can get them from Camskill at £225 delivered each (Does anything think this is cheap? I was looking just last week and they were £270 odd from the same place?) - the dealer also would charge £159 for fitting 2 supplied tyres .

Can anyone recommend a careful tyre fitter in London? The wheels have sensors/valves but not sure if these need changing when the tyres are switched?

Nice, buy them quick, I can confirm that they were £270 on friday.

I had a conversation with my local fitter about the sensors and he did a great job, told me more about it once we got talking so I knew he'd done it before. They don't need changing just care not to break them!

Although if they (the TPMS sensors) are over 5yrs old, it's recommended to change them. I think their batteries run out??

Make sure the Camskill ones are the AM9 RE050's ';)

I think OP might be getting quoted for 2 different tyres, though what the difference is in the real world is beyond me.

My Dealer did them fitted @ £299 each last month

They've gone up again to £258 but seem to be the right ones:

Ordered 2 yesterday at £445 total delivered , it does say Aston Martin DB9 so I am hoping they're AM9 stamped - I'll be having words if they're not.

Arrived today - they are AM9 stamped Very happy - now, where to 'dispose' of my existing rears in a big cloud of smoke?

Sounds like fun but you might want to check out this thread on 6speedonline first. A like-minded owner cooked the power steering pump by holding it on full lock at high engine speed An expensive few minutes of fun.

Be careful doing doughnuts - one of the guys on 6Speed blew the steering pump killing his tyres off before a change.
Cost him ALOT more than two tyres

Camskill are great - I've been using them for over 10 years. Usually best prices too.
