tyre prices...is this ok?

[Karnivor]

Hi all, whilst having a new battery fitted at my local trusted tyre place, I enquired as to the price of a full set of michelin sports n1p tyres for my 996tt, ready for when I need em.

Ive been quoted £750 fitted. Is this a good price?
It seems quite good to me, but then again ive never bought any new tyres for this toy.

comments?

Dos'nt seem too bad. Especially if they are PS2's.

That's not far off the price my local OPC quoted me.


They were only quoting to replace the rears though!


So yes, sounds OK.

Possibly try: http://www.blackcircles.com/

I always try to go local though

My local place just supplied and fitted two COntisport N2's (265/35/18) for less than blackcircles quoted for supply only - happy bunny

Ring this number for a quote 01344 411 323. Please post the prices you get.

Looks a reasonable price. Does it include fitting at a later date?

After a little negotiation with my normal tyre supplier (Protyre in Bristol ), I just got a set of Pirelli assimetrico N3s fitted to my turbo for £610 inc fitting. Although I think the michelins last longer.

well sort of. I only got a quote from him, I havnt actually bought. He said to bring the quote with me when i'm ready for some new boots and he will order and fit them.

So yes, its an all in price..tyres...fit...valves...and balance, with an absolute promise to look after the alloys.

Ill be holding on to his nuts while he does em.

you're a brave man fitting assimetrico's on a turbo, I thought they were death traps on a 993 in the wet. Should of bought rosso or better still pilot sports

Try Costco. They only sell Michelin's and have an offer evey 6 months or so that reduces their prices even further - I can't remember the exact details. You can also buy a full set but only fit two now and schedule a further fitting later when the other pair of tyres need replacing IIRC. Contact Costco for more info. No affiliation yada yada....

Really. They were factory fit when I took delivery of the car in 2002. Got used to the car so just stuck with them.

Hi Dazren, tyre technology has come a long long way in five years, if you want a good recommendation on what to fit to your 2002 turbo, look no further than whats fitted to the 2007 turbo....

[dazren]

Good point. I'll look into that at next changeover.

Thanks.
