Time for a new topic me thinks.

Okay this maybe an old chestnut for some but as I need new rubber for my rear end I thought I'd start here.

Has anybody got a good supplier for tyres for 18" wheels, I tried my local OPC they came up with £200 + vat per corner I also tried the supplier that is connected with pistonheads but they didn't reply.

Good idea about having a separate site for box owners, once a few more find it - maybe they need sat nav !

What kind are you looking for, I would suggest keeping the same make on each corner.. Black Circles do good prices.. I have a local guy near me in Glasgow and he does a stunning price..

I think that Costco can now supply any type of Michelin tyre now although they have to order them in.


I could be talking bishop though.

The micheldever tyres group are pretty good if you are anywhere along the M3. Under £500 for 4 new 17" tyres - Pirelli P Zero N2

Bracknell Tyres (in Bracknell between M3/M4) always come up very good value for tyres. Paid about 500 for a full set in Dec.

Costco are good for common sizes, but will be more expensive for the slightly unusual - so I find them expensive for the boxster.

The cheapest on-line I've seen varies between blackcirles.co.uk or mytyres.co.uk - who seem to vary depending on the size.

Thanks for the help everyone. I,ll shop around and see what I can find.

I tried the Black Circle link as suggested but as I found out before they didn't get back to me. It seems some companies just don't want the business !!
