Budget 440 for 4 premium Tyres - Help Please

[Mk5 GTian]

Not the best of timing, but I need 4 new tyres. 2 on the front are close to legal, and the back ones, whilst having loads of tread left, one has a nick in it down to the cord  As thethe back ones are Conti Sport contact 2's I need to rplace b oth of them as you can't get them anymore, and therefore to keep tread pattern the same they've both got to go.

Could do without this at the moment after my accident, so any help to find some really good tyres in my budget of 440 would be really, really appreciated.

So far I've found Pirelli P Zero Nero's at 116 a corner, which I reckon I can get down to 110 a corner at Tyre City.

Any other ideas? I'd love to go Goodyear Eagle F1, Pirelli p Zero Rosso's, Continental Sport Contact 5 or similar. Anyone aware of any deals or discount codes?

Thanks in anticipation,

Ian.

Just a heads up. You don't need the same tread pattern on the same axle mate.

I just fitted handbook evo v12

Lots of grip and only cost 110 each!

I'm really tempted to try pirelli p zero.  If the pic is correct this is the tyre that won the evo tyre test.  Slightly over budget with fitting but maybe worth it ?? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225-40-18-PIRELLI-P-ZERO-2254018-225-40Y18-NEW-PERFORMANCE-CAR-TYRE-/170917070742?pt=UK_Cars_Tyres_RL&fits=Tyre+Width%3A225%7CAspect+Ratio%3A40%7CDiameter%3A18&hash=item27cb738796

And if you're local to Norfolk it appears these will be £400 for 4 fitted http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/225-40-18-225-40-18-2254018-Pirelli-P-Zero-92Y-Tyre-Brand-New-/150917528909?pt=UK_Cars_Tyres_RL&fits=Tyre+Width%3A225%7CAspect+Ratio%3A40%7CDiameter%3A18&hash=item232362bd4d

Avon ZZ5's mate, brilliant tyre.   £102.98 on Blackcircles    (and yes I'm using them on my R26 atm)

....Surely you meant to write that you DO need the same tread pattern on the same axle, and you meant that front tyre treads could be different from rear tyre treads. Ideally it's better to have the same tread patterns all round and deeper treads on the rear - Sticky Vicky must be obeyed!

From experience, avoid running Directional treads on one axle and Asymmetric treads on the other - It kicks in the ESP more often and can feel very snatchy to drive.

Have you thought about getting part worns? Would save a bit of cash just now

[TomGTI]

Look up Etyres online always been the cheapest for me and they will come out to where ever you live or work and fit them in there van, they sometimes have discounts on there too on different tyres depending what's in stock.

Some good prices on http://www.camskill.co.uk/m61b0s134p0/Car_Tyres_-_MPV_Tyres_-_People_Carrier_Tyres_-_18_inch_R18_inch_-_225_40_18_225_40R18

These prices are great, but surely they are just for the tyre, not fitting and balancing as well?

[Mk5 GTian]

That's not what I've always been told on here. I've always been told you should have the same tread pattern on an axle.

Thanks for that, I could get away with 3 then. This price is just for the tyre though isn't it? Not fitting and balancing?

Yes, you will pay £10 a tyre for fitting and balancing, so need to factor that in

[Baz300]

Yeah just the tyre only.

I would see if any local places would be willing to fit brand new tyres and what they will charge you for it before ordering.

I got 4no 18in Goodyear F1 Assy2's  fitted for £500 back in June, that was with tyreshopper.co.uk 

Great tyres too 

Hope that helps. . .
