Actually, about the same as black circles. As you were, men.  ;D

surely it would be cheaper to just go directly to an independent local tyre place and cut out the "on-line middleman"  :-\

Black circles have always been cheaper than any local place for me, I take the quote and see if they match it. Some will, some won’t.

That’s seriously expensive.  :o

I’ve been quoted £104 for 17’s with ‘premium’ Michelin PS4’s fitted per corner. That’s before discount, apply it and they drop to £94.

Sometimes the local independents can undercut online, so worth calling around. Last set I bought locally were £20 a tyre cheaper locally than best online fitted price

I never use likes of camskill as by time you have fitted, it’s always more expensive

I'll go with a pair of Wanli Ditchfinders next time. I mean, what's the worst that can happen? :)

Jag running costs..

Friend of mine just ordered new Michelin PS4S all round for his Lambo - £750, delivered. Yes, for all four.

Maybe you want to trade up for some cheaper running costs? ;) ;D
