Re: New tyres anyone
I'm almost considering prebuying my first replacement set for my incoming b8 as it'll be due new tyres come jan/feb next year. I'm not sure they'll stay that price for long and £400 is £400carsarecool wrote:Wow, that is a good deal.....paid more for 4 x Pzeros for my TTRS.

I am assuming the 19's spec is correct? They list a 96v set also, but I doubt people would choose these....

Re: New tyres anyone
There's no way I'm fitting them again after my set are worn out, michellins or goodyears, next for me, not sure you can get asymmetrics in the size I need, but Pirellis? You sure ?

Re: New tyres anyone
They do ps2's through the site too, I just used the pzeros as an example as they were by far the most discountedSilas wrote:There's no way I'm fitting them again after my set are worn out, michellins or goodyears, next for me, not sure you can get asymmetrics in the size I need, but Pirellis?

Personally, I never had a big issue with pzeros, but I would take the Michelins if they were priced like for like

Re: New tyres anyone
I'd agree that the pzero OE compound for b7's aren't great. However, they're much improved on the b8 20's and not far off the performance of the PS2's

Just for reference Smudge; im just about (in a couple of hours) to have a pair of the 19"s (pilot super sports) in your link fitted by Malvern tyres for just £160 each.
Re: New tyres anyone
That sounds like a nice nice deal. Are they a local garage for you? I don't get the tyre market. All garages claim there's no margin in tyre sales, yet we see discounts of this level going on....barryrs wrote:smudge wrote:20"
