The price of everything seems to be going through the roof: I needed a couple of tyres for my zaffy so went on the kwik fit website. Conti Premium whatever were £123 each, but got a deal by booking an appointment for Thursday and paying in advance..£83 each. Not bad, I thought.

While I was there, I thought I'd have a look what an omega would cost me. Jeeeez! Expensive.

Then I thought I'd have a look at what my old MGZT (225/45/18Z) would cost now. £960 for 4

Paid £50 a corner for the tyres on my Omega. Wanli Ditchfinders. Excellent they are too....

You are, as always, correct Mark. 205 it is.

As for it being a bit pricey, It was about the best I could find, taking into account kwik fit is five mins away and will be deadly quiet on Thurs morning.

forty quid each .......and not a penny more....

Senior moment the Opti 205/55/18. I did get it right when pricing though.

Put it this way, I paid 82 for contis on mine and they are the 17 inch ones.....plus they were fitted by an outfit where they are likely to get it right (unlike Kwik Shite lol)

Yes and the 17's are lower profile so more pricey anyway.

Your best bet would have been to call a local outfit, get a quote and then tell them how much Kwik Fit are doing them for.

It does show rather well what an absolute RIP OFF Kwik Fit are though, the original price is madness!

I'm gonna start again.



Tyres are quite expensive/not so dear/cheap as chips these days, aren't they?


EDIT: And I've paid for the rather things now.
