Cheap tyres? Michelin PE2's only!

[OliS]

Well after convincing myself not to take a gamble and get a set of Yoko Parada's, I'm now on the hunt for 4 new Michelin PE2's...only problem is Mytres want £322 and Blackcircles £320.92, so roughly £80 a tyre before fitting!

Anyone got any suggestions for where I can get my PE2's cheaper?

Cheers!

I'm sure there was someone on CS selling a brand new pair - that way you'd be half way there! Worth a look...

Try Costco if you're a member.

Sold unfortunately

Nevermind, thanks for the tip though, it's the thought that counts! :wink:

No, unfortunately not, had a look at their website, and it looks more orientated to trade rather than private sales, or am I not getting something?

I got mine from Protyre at £74 per tyre! worth a try!

cheapest you'll find would be aroune £75 without fitting. Try local independants, they will normally be receptive to a haggle. My local supplier is doing them for me at £75 fitted when i need them. Should be 12 months off now though.

Is that a fitted price? I've done a search for Protyre on the internet, and can't find any useful info!?! :?

That was a fitted price but my mate firred them for free because he works there! I tried finding them on the internet but couldnt! I know there are quite a few in Hampshire! Worth looking in the yellow pages!

Oli,

Are you sorted? If not i can ask my contact whether he can get any more... last set of 4 i bought for someone cost £280... but wth your petrol to come and collect them and slipping someone a few quid to fit them i don't think they'll be much cheaper than the blackcircles price in all honesty

Let me know whether you would like me to ask....

Not sorted yet buddy, how far would I have to travel? Thanks for the offer!

 

[OliS]

Protyre in Eastleigh came up at £399 all in! :shock:

Gave my local Pirelli Perfromance Centre a call and they've quoted £340!

Sorry missed this reply - the tyres would be in Watford / Bedfordshire if i take them home with me

No worries, will prob go with the £340 quote, thinking about the petrol and fitting on top of £280 for the tyres, and I don't think the savings will be worth the journey up to you. Thanks again though!

I've got 2 sat in my dad's garage that seem to have plenty of tread on them your welcome to come have a look @ & make me offer on if you'd like?

They were the rears off the car when I changed all 4 to Paradas.
Got the reciept for one of them as it suffered a puncture & had it replaced.

 

[OliS]

Nice one, reckon I'll take you up on this offer depending on how much tread is left, let me know how you want to play this out.
