Falken FK452 or Michelin Pilot Sport PS3?

[Beddie]

Just pop into your nearest one and ask at the membership desk, most professional trades qualify as do anyone with their own company etc, i qualify as my employer (united technologies) is on the list of approved employers, so just ask as you may well qualify, £29 for a years membership 

Best memberships benefit by far is the hotdogs in the cafe...

Or, ask a mate who is a member to go along with you and use their card. Worked fine for me.

Obviously on the understanding you feed him/her as many hotdogs as they can humanly snaffle. Which may or may not be worth while in the long run, last time I saw that many sausages pass someone's lips, I was watching that Annabel Chong video...

Hi, just posted as a newbie in the general area, picking up GTI wednesday.  Currently has the Bridgestone on the rear, but Scudo Stunners on the front.  Guy chipping it in to the dealer, obviously bought cheapest tyres possible!  They look awful and on the test drive vibrate like hell.

I just ordered 2 x Michelin Pilot Sport 3 225/45 R17 W (94) for the front from Blackcircles, used discount code BCMHMAR56 and got 3% discount.  Paid £229, with mobile fitter coming to my house Thursday.

Thought price was ok and don;t have to sit at the garage for an hour.  Hope this helps someone.

I thought £229 was way too cheap, but then realised you ordered 17" tyres -- big difference with the 18" ones!

Costco might have a 25% off deal on Michelins, either now or very soon.

How does one know when these deals are on?

^^^ it is available to individuals over here too 

It turns out that it is trivial to get a membership if you have a limited company (which I do). I will be driving to my nearest Costco this evening. =)

Yeah its 20% off the instore price 
I priced up a set of PS3s in 225/40/18 for mine today, £560 fitted at the normal price for 4 down to £448 when the offer is on 

Happy indeed. At £448 it's a no-brainer! Hopefully I'll get a Costco membership tonight.

Just rang the Leeds store, price per tyre is £139.11.

They will only give you 20% off if you buy 4 tyres and you MUST produce the 20% discount voucher.

Then 4 tyres will work out at £445.15 fully fitted.

Good deal

Costco have been doing the 20% deal on the tyres for years now and if you are a member you receive a mail shot with upcoming offers, the tyre deals are usually on 2-3 times a year and the next one is scheduled for after easter, i've never had to produce any vouchers when the offer is live, just turn up and hand over the cash (costco do not accept credit cards) and your done

I had Vred Sessantas (225/40/18) fitted on Thursday, all in for £380, including tracking.

So far, they seem very nice, and I'm comparing to the Goodyear F1 Assymmetrics on my BMW. Praise indeed

Costco membership sorted! I asked the tyre guy and he said he knew nothing of a promotion.

Just put Falken ZE912's on mine

The ZE912's are only speed rated W though. I thought the correct fitment is a Y rated? thats why I chose the FK 452's over them as they are rated correctly.
