And I thought bike tyres were dear.

Post by timbox2 »

Sorry bit off subject but had to have 2 new front tyres today for the tin box.

Now, its a Vauxhall Vectra SRi, nothing too special then, apart from I had the X pack fitted when I ordered it which includes 235/35 x 19" wheels, but I was still a bit shocked by the £246........................EACH, oops luckily I dont pay for tyres, they had to order another one for one of the backs as well so all in all thats £738 for 3 , bargain, I suppose thats full retail and if I was paying cash Im sure they would be a bit cheaper, but still, Ill never complain about the price of bike tyres again, yes I will, cos I do pay for them. :cry:

I've got a BMW X3 with huge wheels and pay £500 for all 4 fitted - and they're run-flats!

I reckon they may have seen you coming.... :shock:

You could get away with the Falkens on the vectra but lease companies stipulate a big brand name and get charged heavily for that.
