New tyres

[Welshbeef]

Just fitted PS3 Michellin

255/35/18 rears
225/40/8 fronts

Total fitted cost £525 at Costco a very reasonable price given the size.


New tyres really do look good and grip feels great.
The old ones I last checked depth early summer and rears showed 3mm but the last week traction control has been flashing a lot so checked then this morning and they are just above the markers... Could maybe squeeze a few thousand miles out of them but its just not worth it especially with the wet winter weather.

Just worked out the cost per mile for tyres on this vehicle ... £0.02 per mile. Considering fuel is c£0.17 its actually quite a significant cost.

I would have to disagree. £0.02 is not significant when compared to £0.17

Is that with the 20% off deal which costco are currently doing? Does seem a good price.

That's a very good price actually. I paid the same for Eagle F1 A2s without fitting. Same sizes. Are they run flats?

You don't think 10% is "significant"?

Not in the overall context no
