Good price TurboJ, how much will fitting be on top ?

Alot of tyre places local to me used to charge about £12 per corner, however recently some have quoted upto £25 !!

Do you think some garages prefer fitting tyres they have supplied ?

Don't think a lot of tyre outlets like us buying our own tyres.......

......I asked for a quote on a tyre for my girlfriends fiesta a while back at my local place, they wanted almost £65 fitted for a nexen 185/55/14 !! just bought 2 online fitted for less than that! no wonder we search round online for the best deal!! laugh

I've fitted some Falkens having previously run Continental SportContact and Goodyear Eagle F1s.

From my point of view they are as good as either of the above for grip, and are only marginally less good than the Contis overall as they give slightly higher road noise at 70mph+. I'd take them over the Eagles all day long though.

Really excellent tyres for the price.

I prefer the Toyo t1Rs personally. I have both on different cars.

BTW if you are nearby call Bracknell Tyre & Battery for a price - they are usually much cheaper than camskill and cheaper than micheldever (part of the same group). They sell toyos cheaper than my local place gets them in at. T1Rs were £5/corner cheaper than camskill in the size I bought last and there prices are fitted rather than delivered

I've run FAlkens for years now, excellent tyres IMO. Hap Pirelis on when I got it. Then fitted Toyo's and had mhoosive understeer when they were getting low on tread. Cant really fault the Falens cool
