4x Pirelli Cinturato P7 225/45/17........£298
New front discs and pads...................£200
MOT................................................£35

But at least this example of classic British engineering at it's best remains on the road.

PS....All four tyres failed on splitting rather than lack of tread.

There is no excuse for that. Man Up!

I'm pissed because the front tyres have only covered about 3000 miles......and only have 250 BHP going through them.

I may contact Goodyear and see if they will make a contribution.

Cheap motoring nothing to complain about , got to expect a little expenditure keeping a classic on the road..😄

Surely £533 is more than the sigmund is worth

Not with used car prices where they currently are.

On Autotrader some are  going for £2000+

My car is the sexy rare and desirable 2.8V6 turbo, so I can name my price for this future classic.

Every single Goodyear Eagle that I've owned has split all the way around through the tread band long before the tyre tread depth wears out. I've even posted the photos on here.  It's the very reason that I went back to Michelin. It happened on both Assy 2 and 3. I was happy with the Michelin PS 4S on the Omega so I swapped out the factory fit Bridgestone Pretenders on the Audi's 20" wheels and it transformed it.

Yep....exactly my tyre, and exactly what they failed on.

 £250 a corner on the Monaro
Not yet had to replace any yet

Michelin PS 4S on the front of my XFR came to £350. They were 255/35/20.

The rears where larger 285/30/20 and were about £530 for a pair of the same.


So about £880 in total.

Four new Yokohamas on the Range Rover earlier in the year 20 inch wheels £620 didn't think that was too bad.

I'm currently running Goodyear Eagles but this is the third set I've had that have split in the tread grooves.

This was what I posted in 2018 regarding Goodyear Eagles splitting. I'll try to dig out the photo so that others can see the amount of tread left compared to the split. It's a shame as I liked them as a tyre.

I also had a set of these Goodyears on my Omega which did exactly the same - splitting in the tread grooves way before the tread itself was down. I also had a set of Dunlops on the same car, and they also did the same, which, according to a tyre fitter I know, is also a common failing of Dunlops too. I have stuck with Michelins ever since. The last set of PS4's I bought for the Omega (235 45 17 97Y's) last year were £422 fitted at ATS, which was a similar and in some cases a cheaper figure than other possibly less 'regarded' makes.
ATS are 'agents' for Michelin so it is worth checking when they have special Michelin discounts on, which in my case saved me approximately £120 compared with quotes for the same tyre at other places.
