After Bridgestone Potenza 273/35 ZR19 (96Y)

Best price i've found is £488 for the 2 tyres fitted.

Anywhere else worth checking ?

I'm not far from you in Farnham and I will be probably be going to Micheldever when mine needs some, it's also an excuse for a buzz down the M3/A303.

If you want somewhere closer then as a family we have had good experiences with Kwik-Fit in Fleet. That includes a recent set for an E92 M3 and I would have been just as concerned about the wheels on that as those on my V8V, if not more so to be honest. They did a great job at a very good price.
I do realise the big chains are prone to getting a bad rap on the forums and I am in no way connected to K-F but it does seem reasonable to expect that some branches of a franchise will operate differently to the majority, or minority depending on which way you look at it smile
Has to be worth a call if only to have a price to use in negotiation with Micheldever.
