Graeme,
thanks for that little tip I've been looking for tyres for a couple of weeks now and even Camskill have been more £182 a corner so well happy with £560 for the set!!

look forward to giving some feed back on them.

I did a google search on Vredesteins and it says at the top of the page £180 per tyre for them, however if you scroll down the 1st search page there is a link to Camskill and you put in the amount of tyres you want and including postage at £9.00 IIRC it comes to £559. something.

Four new F1's on this weekend at £160 a corner from Kwik Fit. And my alloys are fine

What size is that bn8959; 255 or 275?
Just had my Vredesteins fitted this morning, amazing how much quiter they were than my Goodyears, shows how close to the limit they were. 18000 miles out of them though, can't complain
£600 all in fitted for 275's, £560 for the tyres from Camskill including next day delivery. However I imagine that the prices will go up again since they are due to get more from the Netherlands.

I only recently put 275/30/19 Eagle F1 Asymmetrics on mine. Cost me £720 incl Vat, fitting and wheel balancing.
In my opinion alot better than the 255 Dunlops on the car before
Hope that this helps

Mine has Pirelli P zero Rosso's on at the moment, which I pressume are the originals?? Are these not recommended? I think I will need to replace 2 of mine in the near future. Is it recommended to change all 4 or is 2 at a time ok?
Cheers
Dan

Dan, all down to personal choice really mate. it would seem the p zero's conti sports are not as loved as PS2's or F1's and the Vredsteins have come on the seen. My advise would be change all 4 at once and just make sure you
Shop around and get a good price.

Cheers Jim
I must admit the P Zero's don't feel great but this may be down to the amount of tread left??
I take it the Ps2's are Michelin? I had these on my TT and they were excellent. The F1's seem to be cheaper so if they are highly rated I may give these a go.
Do you ever swap your wheels front to back to even the wear?

P Zero's are renowned as a soft tyre so if near the end of their life I see them having much grip left.
Conti SC3's were OK for me for the first 5k miles and thereafter inspired no confidence at all. My F1's have covered 18,000 miles and not put a foot wrong, looking forward to see how the Vredesteins fair now but thus far very quiet. Haven'r pushed them as yet because they've only done 100 miles today. Give it until the weekend and then see how I get on with them.
Djt, I do rotate my wheels as the fronts bearing the weight of the engine do wear marginally quicker than the rears. Personally I've always been inclined to swap all 4 at the same time rather than one axle and then the other.
