Is it too early to nominate Fascinating Subthread of the Day?

Shut up.

Yeah, I usually go to Britannia Tyres for mine.
Then I let them direct me towards buying the low to mid-ranged ones, y'know 'cause it's false economy buying the cheapo ones, but obviously I want good value without having to break the bank.

Mine are 16/205s
and they cost me about 90 quid a corner. Sounds like you could probably get them cheaper.

Tyre subthread. A new low.

You could try a lower speed rating
What's a W, 180 or something?
( Kroney, Fri 2 Nov 2012, 12:01, Reply)

I just went with the rating that was on the existing ones.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Fri 2 Nov 2012, 12:04, Reply)

Well, I buy Bridgestone or Pirellis, so a decent brand
and mine aren't so much smaller than yours that it'd explain 80 pounds difference. Mine are rated R, though. Maybe that's where the money's going.

Pirate tires.
Rated Arrrr.

Had Pirelli fitted.

i got told that mine needed new tyres
at £240 a pop or something stupid. sent my dad in. paid a LOT less. i do think they see a woman with a sports car and go, woohoo, let's rip her right off. am dreading the service bill next week.

A full service for this at a main dealer is a lot, but helps the residual value.

( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Fri 2 Nov 2012, 12:05, Reply)

Then I threw a 6 and a 4.
