I was in costco the other day and it was after a long day.... I got a price of £119 each... um but tha was a 17inch and 45 profile.... and Id convinced myself it was that size ... then lightbulb moment.

So £240 - thats fully fitted.

KwikFit are £197 EACH....

Try Event Mobile tyres - if they have them, they'll be as cheap as, or cheaper than anywhere else.

Out of interest, why the PS3? I'm sure I've read reviews saying the PS2 is still a better tyre.

Costco have the details highlighting why its the better tyre.
It is an evolution of the PS2.

I have the PS3 on my S4.

A superb tyre, quiet, very grippy, and worked a treat in the snow.

You'll have to check if they'll fit in your area, but with my postcode they're showing £147, each, fitted.

Costco are selling them at £149.99.

Had an interesting chat with the fitter on the phone I gave him the full size of the tyre etc and awaiting the price then he asked what vehicle. To which he then asked do I have a spare wheel (I dont) then he said you have to fit run flats....

He explained thats how the car was originally specified.
I then counter explained - the original owner ordered the car with non run flats from new with a foam can as the spare. Therefore I need only the normal tyres.

They have them in stock.

He did seem quite off ish when I said I wanted non runflats - why? He is a tyre fitter? Or is it a case of general public wouldnt know so he needs to cover his arse.

Mostly the general public thing - if the manufacturer specified run-flats, he didn't fit them, you got a flat and were stranded, the manufacturer would tell you it was the fault of the tyres not being run-flats..

Provided you were retarded enough to try to blame the manufacturer, that is. I had similar 'we can only set it up to what it says on the spec' crap to cut through when I wanted to get my toe set up differently.

Well played with LMGTFY wink
