Just been shopping arround for the best tyre prices and managed to get the price down to £616 for a set of 4 235/60/18 goodyear wrangler AW V 103 tyres fully fitted.
Has any one else manages to get a better price anywhere?

Thats a very good price I get my tyres from www.camskill.co.uk & get my mate to fit them, but with them 4 x tyres are £590. If I had all the money I spent on Beer!, I'd spend it on Beer!.

£599 for 4 Continental Cross Contact from Land Rover in Exeter.... but they came with shiny new 19" Triple Sports! I couldn't get 4 x 17" Contis for less than £650, tyres only?????

General Grabbers UHP £420 fitted!

Fantastic tyre too, I had wranglers last time, but decided a to have a change!

Had them on for about 2 weeks now, and no complaints so far, they get great reviews too!  Anyhoo off oot on me mobike.....

Oh just noticed!

My tyres are 235 65 17......!!! sorry, one eye on here one eye on the notts v cardiff game!!!

Anyhooo, howay the lads!!! Anyhoo off oot on me mobike.....

Good price. I paid £750 from Farmer Autocare

Its all very well getting nice shinny new 19" wheels and tyres but have you seen how much they are to replace? i bet it will be hard to find that deal again.
all the tyre reviews i have read say they are not to good in snow,dont know how long the tyre life is on them either.


AS for general grabbers. I cant comment on as i have not been able to find enough data on them.

On here you can find out about just about anything you want to know for the people by the people.

Agreed, they may not be that great in snow & may not last 25,000 miles like the 17" Contis, but I guess I'll find out in due course. My 3 year old XS only has 29,000 on the clock & since I've moved I do about 500 miles a month so my tyres should be good for about 3 to 4 years. If I still have the FL2 then & need new tyres at an affordable price (<£600) I can just get my 17" XS alloys shod with Conti's instead, so no drama!

Hi podcast, well thats good but for people like me who do lots more miles we have to be more careful on the old pennies. if i could afford it i would have two sets of tyres. Some lovely 19" wheels for summer driving and some real good winter tyres for that time of years.
Unfortunatley i have to go for the comprimise option untill my lotto numbers come up then the skies the limmit

Just replaced my 235/65/17 Continentals with Wrangler HP at £130 each, £520 for the set.

Why put contis on at £180 a pop when Vredestein a top german branded tyre do a 235 55 R19 for £129  If I had all the money I spent on Beer!, I'd spend it on Beer!.

Its funny, you only have to go up a tyre size etc and the price goes nuts. Its a bloody rip off. The Tyres ive just baught were coming up at over £1000 fully fitted and i told him he was having a laugh and that i could get them cheaper else where when he said he would see what he could do then dropped the price by over £400 funny that isnt it.
