May be of interest but having seen and joined in with threads about tyres etc and trying to cost a set of rears, I popped into my local Kwik FIt and got a price quote.

£400 all in for the pair. 285/30 ZR18s I think they were. Needed to be put on order but they were fitted yesterday. clap

ps - down in Gl6 if anyone is that way but you may be able to get a local to match the price?

What make are you talking about here as when I was searching about, found a lot of cheaper options but it just seemed and felt a bit 'cheap' to go on price alone when I dont think I have the talent or knowledge to differentiate myself and get a tru best buy?

Hi smile

Not N rated for Porsche no...but there are NO N rated for my 21 year old 928 anyway...

N rating ONLY means thay have been tested by Porsche , it doesnt mean other makes are of lesser quality...IMHO..these are all rated to 180 mph+

All the best Brett smile
