£153 on camskill  and £30 off if you buy 2.   So £276 plus p&p. Same tyre.

Plus fitting though?  :-\
The £30 saving will cover that ::)

There you go then we've just saved Lord Opti £45!  :y

Well... Rae did!  :)

£6-800 should buy four decent tyres for pretty much anything. :-\

I would normally want a car attached to them for that kind of money.
That might have to change now though.  ::)

My last four cars have cost more for the tyres than the cars did.

Next ;D

I'd actually just been looking through Camskill ..... Michelin though but they're more like £250 a piece. Not sure I can justify a grand on tyres though  ???

It certainly gives you pause for thought about buying a big vehicle.  ::)

It is rather strange not paying for consumables or servicing on cars, or doing the work.

That will change shortly as the apprentice will be 17 soon and will need a cheap runabout

Have you actually looked to see if the tyres are damaged ?

Even with the wheels turned it is hard to see the inside.

The front boots are crappy Dunlop Sportmax so I'll be glad to see them go.
My (local indie) garage takes pictures of any failures that can be seen with the naked eye.

I asked if the tester did this.The answer was no.

I shall insist on viewing the old tyres when they come off.

The full description of the failure is as follows.

Tyre(s) has a cut in excess of the requirements deep enough to reach the ply or cords. :o :o :o

So they sound well f*ucked. :D

Sounds more like a defect found on a FWD hot hatch.
