Just noticed my two front tyre's have started cracking around the rim more a less all the way around and pressure dropped to 22psi.. So i'm looking for x2 new budget tyre's that would be compatible with the Omega (for the front not rear) is there any decent Online places or can anyone recommend someone like ATS, Quick Fit, etc That anyone can recommend ?


Thanks in advance

Or give Taxi Als Runway Enduros a go,in fairness they are ok just I've no experience of them on an Omega

Well i've been calling around and have had prices from £70-£140 each the cheapest being a make called Event or something £74 fitted, balanced etc. .. I've found somewhere that would fit tyres that's if I was to buy from RobG's suggestion for £30 for x2 including balancing etc. Ideally i dont want to pay more than £150 in total but still get some decent tyres out of it.

£30 per tyre just for fitting/Balancing and disposal At least Dick Turpin wore a mask

Event tyres are not very good, especially at that price. Why not try blackcircles/etyres/camskill etc?

I normally find that smaller, independent garages that fit tyres are more competitive

When looking at Winter Tyres, I was quoted £40 fitted & balanced for 4 , if I supplied the tyres.

for x2 ... Yea been looking up Event tyres not worth the bother.. Have found these http://www.allnewtyres.co.uk/tyre-details.asp?id=2591&Primewell%20PZ900%20%20X/LOAD%20235%2045%2017%20/%202354517%2097W%20%20tyres they seem to have good ratings

2 x Accelera Alphas delivered @ £120, plus all in fitting for around £20-25, total less than £150.  Alphas are a very good "budget" tyre - and are suited to Omegas   No brainer mate in view of other prices you have - just need to find someone sensible/realistically priced to fit

Never heard of them and pricier than known Acceleras

£68 each, FITTED www.blackcircles.com much better wet performance than the Acceleras as well

These look to be the same tyre with different ratings.
