New tyres anyone

Post by Graeme4130 » Wed May 14, 2014 10:16 pm

Thanks to Kev on the b7 forum for spotting this, but this is a Blimmin good deal for 4 tyres if anyone's b8 is coming up for replacement boots :

That's a solid £400 saving for a set

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 £400

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

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 ?

They do ps2's through the site too, I just used the pzeros as an example as they were by far the most discounted
Personally, I never had a big issue with pzeros, but I would take the Michelins if they were priced like for like

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

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....
