The price of the Michelins are unbelievable, I didn't even have to think twice! :jumping:

The national deal for the fuel gift card ended at the end of April, but this fuel gift card ending 2nd June is exclusive to Costo. I can upload pic of the leaflet later if that helps?

They had a stack of them next to the till in the tyre department... along with Michelin stickers and pin badges (if that's your kind of thing) :grin:

Does anybody have any experience with Uniroyal Rainsport 2s?

I've just got a Gti after owning a Mk1 Fabia vRs which i always used them on, they were brilliant tyres, just as grippy as the proxes that were on it when I got it in the dry and streets ahead on wet roads. not sure if they will cope with the extra power of the golf, but for the price, they have got to be worth a look?

Yes mate, had 4 fitted about 18 months ago, the fronts have just come to the end of their life. They have been ok but only had semi worn contisports to compare with on this car. I've gone for the people's favourite good years now and will be dropping them on the back wheels, I'm sure they will live up to the hype!

Mandy....

Is there anywhere online to view Costco tyre prices?

Do you know if they sell 225/35/R19's?

I couldn't see anything on their website so I gave them a ring...

He said the PS3's don't come in that size. He said they do Michelin Pilot Super Sport in 225/35/19 for £217 each fitted (inc. VAT), or 235/35/19 for £220 fitted (inc. VAT). These would need to be ordered in. They qualify for the 20% discount and £50 fuel gift card.

That's a great price Mandy  :happy2:

With 20% off that works out at £173 fitted for Super Sports AND a £50 fuel card  :congrats:

Camskill have them at £180 each (without fitting).

I paid £119 fitted each for the michelin PS3 a few weeks ago on my girlfriends Leon, in addition to the £50 fuel card that i got twice i put the forms in each name, so basically 4 fitted for £376 (225/40/18).

I used clickontyres.co.uk

http://www.clickontyres.co.uk/buy-tyres-online/?ct-tyre-finder-width=225&ct-tyre-finder-profile=40&ct-tyre-finder-diameter=18&ct-tyre-finder-speed=Y

they have Goodyears at £102 & ps3 at £112, + £12 fitting. Main site is based in shipley, west yorkshire, but they do mail order also.

I just bought 4x new Pirelli P Zero Rosso's from Camskill, £440 delivered and fitted, which I thought was very cheap.

First time i've used these and very happy with them so far, anyone else tried these Pirelli's before? WHat did you think?

 My new car has Hankook S1 Evos which are about 8/10 as good as the Sessantas.
