Attempted Tyre rip off

Popped into National Tyres near Cannock yesterday for a price on two front Goodyear 225/45/17 F1 GSD3's. Was quoted £273, but they didn't have them in stock. I asked about a price match to ATS price of £180, and he said ok after speaking to someone in the work shop.

An attempted rip off of £93!!!!!!!

Surprised they still have stock of the GSD3's, but £180 for two sounds pretty good value in the end.

I'm in a predicament where I want them all to match, but they haven't all worn out :( Would rather stick with these older ones and have them match, rather than two newer designs on the front and older ones on the back.

Crinkle crunch prevents all 4 being changed without them being worn :D

Had to source one myself in March for a similar reason - approx. £95 from BlackCircles.

Not doing things in half measures, I got five nails in the same tyre.

I've gone with black circles, just over £180 for the pair, being fitted Wednesday.

Good skills with the five nails ;)
