Tyres

[golf nutter]

i need to get some front tyres for my standard 17" Monzas.  I want decent branded, such as Pirelli, Dunlop, Goodyear etc...anyone had to buy any recently and got a good price?  secondly, is it worth buying tyres on the net and taking them to be fitted locally or is there no savings to be had?  thanks.

To be honest I allways find it's less hassle just go and buy them and have them fitted
On the net you pay postage and then the fitting charge at the garage...waiting for them to come in the post etc, may not be much in it when the post etc gets added on

Have a look at the Vredstein tyres, saw a post on some the other day, good tyres

I always buy off net, just make sure you get correct size, load index and speed rating, bear in mind fitting will be 10-12.50 per wheel... But I normally find a £20 per wheel saving...

am running 225/35/19 on a 8j rim>>Buying tyres of the net is a lot cheaper and if you can find a good tyre fitter (like me :signLOL ) who isn't going to catch your wheels then it will save you some money

I am on My 5th GTI now and the Previous 3 have all Ran Toyo Proxes T-1R (My current GTI will be wearing them when the tyres it camse with wear out (Dunlop Sp Sports).

They squeal a little more when your chucking it around, but the wear rate is excellent (long Life) and they are GREAt in the wet!!.

And before someone ask no i dont work for Toyo lol, i just love that tyre!! And at only around £415 for a full set (plus fitting) they leave you with cash for other mods 

[hali]

i had avon on my ch's and they were good on dry and wet

[alackofspeed]

I have GY asymetric 2 and Kumho kw27, and both sets were bought from a local fitter for less than my tyres, black circles, or camskill. The two sets were both approx £100 per tyre fitted.

[paul896]

Get Dunlops or Goodyear (i am biased I work for them!!!)

Had SP SPORT MAXX and MAXX TT on the alfa and thought they were great. have Vredesign Rain Expert 2 on the Golf and cant wait to change them, dont feel condifant in them at all
