how many people actually buy tyres that properly suit their manner of driving and desired annual mileage?

i got the 205/55/16 winters for my bora off ebay, £60 for a set of 4 thanks to 2 disgraceful adverts, 2 kleber kristals that are on the back since i dont know the brand, and 2 michelin alpins for the front :y

all 4 fitted at local tyre place for £30

Local dealers always beat the big chains IMHO.  They are simply geared to covering marketing budgets and catering for fleets (at a huge discount that you won't get privately).   :y

They seem to charge around £12  a tyre to fit your own around here. I fit my own tyres to the car and the bike nowadays. ;)

I allways ring round for a price, but the cheeky bugga's try to find your best price before they bother with a quote.

Interesting how good the prices get when you make it up as you go along like they do.   ::)

Congrats, you have a set of (probably second hand) mud and snow tyres!  ;D

Thanks Pete. Got new all round now. Only do about 7000 miles a year so I'll probably be dead before I need new tyres. ;D
