I'm officially poor.. :-(
« on: November 06, 2013, 01:19:04 pm »
4 new falkens and a new cam follower.

Old follower was ready for the off.. Tyres were just legal and budget. Ugh, car ownership.

Got 4 falkens for 350 fully fitted though :-)

£350 is a lot I'd say

I paid £369 for my Sessantas on my Winters.
215/40 on 2 of the wheels as well which are more expensive than 225/45s!

As long as you're happy though.

Checked black circles and their fitted price for 4 is around 370

So, haggled a little bit.

No worries I got some for my mk5 gti 17"s as above 2 months ago. So good went back with my mk4 R32 following week. They were 225/40 r18. Yokahammas were £100. I got some Bridgestones for £105. The guy is cheap anyway and good. Think I get a slightly better price for going in as I put a lot of business his way.
