try http://www.mytyres.net (the UK site of ReifenDirekt.com from Germany).
I used their DE service : great prices, cheap and super fast deliveries.

I think they quote £ 143 for the Pilot SPORT 225/40 ZR18 88Y FSL and £ 137.90 for Pilot SPORT 225/40 ZR18 ZR N0,FSL.

I got a quote from Costco Watford.

It was £143.57 per tyre = £574 less £35 off = £134.75. Latest Michelins 225 40 18's, Fully fitted, balanced valves etc. Not sure what it would be for three, ie would the discount still apply.

best so far £115 + vat fitted. !! so £135.12 each

might as well get 4 for that price and keep the one i had fitted recently as a spare!

its a back street 4x4 off road specialist, that was recommended to me. [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]

Bit of feed back...

Ignore the quote above. "quoted me for 17's" when i went to order...


Cheapest quote by far was from micheldever.co.uk delivered.

Decided i would just go back to my usual dealer, because i know they wont damage my rims.

£165 fitted inc vat each in the end.

Yep, Josh is right...

They are cheap normally and even better when they have an offer on..... I think its Pilots at the moment but it may have changed.

Thats right Paul - so if you want Toyos for example [img]images/graemlins/biggrin3.gif[/img]then don't go to Costco. [img]images/graemlins/jump.gif[/img]

...............but I think paulS3 is looking for Michelins
