Cheapest tyres

[daz_uk]

Hi,

Pretty soon im gonna ditch my standard 1.6 16v alloys and put on my old set of 15" Softline alloys i used to have on my 1.4 rt. Thing is, the alloys need 4 new tyres so in the efforts of keeping the price down, does anyone know a good place (either on the net or in Yorkshire) that does cheap tyres, and fits them to alloys,balances them etc?

Cheapest 195x45x15s I can find at minute are about £43 inc vat but thats just to buy them. Its extra for delivery - and then theres the added cost of getting them fitted to the rims and then on the car and tracked/balanced. arggh!

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers

Daz

Agreed. Only accept tyres that are black and circular. If not - JUST WALK AWAY

It was fun going to work this morning!

Took ages

 

[Daz]

Haha. Everyone was going slow.. took me 20mins more.. lots of big puddles and one flooded bit.. I was going through slow in middle of road with other people.. and people coming other way were flying through and drenching me.

My 1.2 has Toyos on the front.. they definetly do make for an interesting journey..

[Daz]

Neither

 

[daz_uk]

lol!

ok, which one would you get if you were on a budget (as i am)?

Are they that bad? And if so - whats so bad.

Cheers!

Daz

 

[telford_mike]

Kumhos are ok I think - Im sure Yoz supplied some to a happy customer. Id go for Toyos personally though.

 

[Daz]

Kumhos probably.. but they are Summer Tyres.. dunno what theyd be like in the rain/snow etc..

I dunno what Toyos compare like to the cheaper tyres.. but, with tyres, Id pay a bit more.. they are the only things which keep you on the road really, heh.

 

[daz_uk]

bearing in mind im not gonna be racing around like a nutter - they are just to give good grip in wet & dry and to be durable. Im on a budget!

Oh, if i got the tyres, how much would a garage usually charge (on average) to fit them to alloys, then balance them, and then mount on vehicle and track them?

Cheers!

Daz

 

[telford_mike]

£5 per tyre where I live.

 

[daz_uk]

anyone know best place in York to get stuff like that done? Ive heard Great North-Eastern Tyres are meant to be good?

Im budgeting max £200 to buy all 4 tyres, then fitted to alloys, balanced and tracked.



Cheers!

Well, go into some tyre places and get a price.

Online places are cheap.. but after delivery and fitting, they tend not to be. I was quoted £51.99 I think on some Michelin Primacys fitted (195/50/15) from Brittania Tyres.. which, is cheaper than mytyres etc.. after delivery then the £5/£10 to get them fitted!

 

[daz_uk]

ok lads thx!

One more thing. My exhaust was fitted just before I bought it and looks like a normal backbox. However, the pipe angles downwards at the end as most tend to do i guess. Thing is, if i wanted to just get a tailpipe (for cosmetic ONLY and NOT a noisy one at all) then how would i fit this? All the pics i see of the tailpipes look straight and if i put them on they would point more or less down toward the floor!!

I may be being incredibly thick but whats the point being ashamed of not knowing something eh? I mean, we all have our strengths ,and boy - the things I can do with a tub of vaseline and a carrot make the mind boggle.......Did i just say that out loud?

 

[Daz]

Cue end of backbox off and bolt it on..

Before I changed my backbox on 1.2, I just put a trim on.. didnt cut it tho, and yea.. it pointed at the floor.. (but it looked better cus it was shiny)
