Slip of the fingers on the key board there, sorry!

I've heard of fakes being about but that said, Tyrexpress are a big, reputable company so your as safe as you can be buying from them.

Another reason why people won't fit online supplied Tyres is that most can't compete so offer an all or nothing service....

Just had my Vredestein 255/35/19's fitted for £700. That was by far the best price I could get for a sensible tyre.

That tread pattern is the pooches privates...

Costco wanted in excess of £1200 for Michelin PS2's....

Kept the old legal(?!) rubber for the track set of rims which are to be done in titanium...

Mine have been on for 3000 miles now and I'm still really impressed, very low noise and superb levels of grip in the wet and dry

Just had mine fitted today, £655 fitted, so not a bad price.
Only problem is , they dont feel right? like i'm riding on balloons, they are very soft to the touch as well.
Could it be the pressures?, they are set F41 R38 at moment.

I imagine like Goodyears they'll need a scrubbing in period of about 500 miles before you get the best out of them.

New tyres always feelk wierd, due to the treatment they are covered in to store them without deteriorating, give them a couple of hundred of miles to be sure and re-check the pressures.

I'm running Goodyears at 40F, 38R so those pressures sound OK.

Mine felt pretty weird after fitting but they soon settled down.
I've been very pleased with them - good grip and they seem to be wearing really well.
£655 was a good price. :o

Mine have just been giving me some excellent lift-off oversteer on an un-named local roundabout.

Just had my Sessanta's fitted. Cost £165 a corner inc fitting from my local dealer. Replaced a very worn set of Rosso's. Made sure that the fitter got the Uniformity mark lined up with the valve, result is less wheel weight than audi used on the original tyres. New tyres still feel odd, even with 200 miles on them but hopefully will sort themselves out in the next few hundred.
