One tyre? Fitted and balanced?

Bearing in mind its quite narrow, and probably for the front, Id say £250. Which is stupid anyway...
Rears would be about £300 each...making it £1100 for 4 new tyres in my guesstimation.....arf arf arf...

How does £341 grab you ?!

Utter dog shiet.

So £682 for 2, plus probably £800 for 2x rears = £1482

Who would pay that? Im mean....honestly, who would pay that? Are these people mental? No interest in main dealers whatsoever.

Put 2 x Falken 452's on for less than £200....

Out of interest, how much are they from a non main dealer place?

[dibbly_dobbler]

Chaps - sorry I lied slightly, the price was for a rear tyre which is a 255 not a 225. But it is still breathtaking !

At a tyre broker I think you can get one of these for around £240 which would count as just being interfered with a bit rather than the full raping

I hasten to add I did not pay this !
