Thats the centro price, the sessanta's will be more expensive and as it says 'call for availability' they are probably not in stock.

They are just widely regarded as one of the best makes of tyres without paying ludicrous prices. Very hard wearing and give great grip in all weather. :smiley:

Try www.tyretraders.com

They've been good for me in the past but ring as opposed to just getting the web prices..

Just had fitted 4 Dunlop Sport Max TTs (make sure you ask for TTs as some dealers will tell you they don't exist) for £460 fiited and they're a great tyre and get good write-ups in all the car mag tyre tests, check out www.tyrereviews.co.uk/

Got them from my local tyre dealer but the price seems fairly universal.

They work really well on the Golf but I suspect might wear fast as they seem really soft, hence the good grip. Also they have really good rim protectors which is a bonus when the missus takes the car into town.

Might try the Vredesteins next when they actually get some into the country.

add to that, after much research CAMSKILL came out cheapest for the tyres alone but it's a long way to get them fitted for me so soaked the extra on local
