Tyres

[goatherder]

Hi,

Need to start sorting a few bits out on the car ready for the MOT next March.. first things first, looks like I'll need new tyres all around..

Think I'm running Falken 235/40zr's (front) and Falken 265/35zr's (rear) - anyone know of any good offers?

Have you checked Camskills site...usually the cheapest.....or as Dem was lucky enough recently got some cheap off ebay!

[goatherder]

thanks - just looked, prices aren't too bad actually..

 

[Parisien]

Or Vredsteins are highly thought of also...a bit dearer.

i got vredesteins from elite, p saw them on ebay and i got 2 265/35/18 at £130 each + £20 delivery

 

[Parisien]

You still got the link Dem....thats a £40-50 savings including delivery I think!

sorry yes, i forgot to put the rears up, i did get rears for mine, clicked on wrong link.....

 

[goatherder]

Thanks for the links.. In terms of fitting the tyres I have access to a very good (free) mobile fitting service where I work - I haven't spoke to them yet but are they any 'special' considerations I need to make a fitter aware of??

 

[goatherder]

Not to worry - Turns out my local dealership will provide and fit for about £60 less than the tyre company!

Did I read somewhere that greengripper brake pads are ok to use on the 4200?

 

[Parisien]

Yes, the discs and brakepads are the same on both 3200/4200.......but do check the greengripper offer with BBrakes just to be sure!
