Cheapest mid - premium range tyres
« on: December 19, 2012, 11:28:51 pm »
Hey guys!

Some of you will of seen that I've been harping on about this for a while so apologies if its to anyone's annoyance!

Again I need some 18" tyres preferably 215/35's  and funds are tight with the time of year n all that jazz!
Just wondering what the cheapest mid - premium range tyre is as I really don't want to buy budgets which is about all my funds stretch to so far as I can tell!

Help would be much appreciated :)

But that's £320, then you've got to pay for fitting, if you can find a fitter willing to fit new tyres they've not supplied? The OP  has only £250.

I'd look around for premium part worns with a good 5-6mm tread.

Falkens are crap. Can't you just save a bit more cash?

Well I could do but the reason I'm wanting tyres is that I've just bought a new set of BBS's that I want to get on the car ASAP & I have 2 very nearly illegal tyre on my current OEM alloys which are a different size, so I don't wanna fork out on tyres for them when I'm going to be changing the alloys in the very near future anyway so I may Aswell buy the tyres I need got the BBS's

Catch 22 really!
