Mikesding Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'm buying two new 245/45r18 rear bridges tones, just wondered if anyone had found them cheap anywhere? Cheapest I've found them is on camskill, at about £180 each I believe. Anyone found some good sites? Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notfub Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I'd ring around a few local tyre places, you might be surprised. For example, last month I had two rear Bridgestone RE050A's fitted to my zed for £375 all in at Harris Bros Swansea. I've been going there for years and they are excellent on tyre prices. I would have though that most city's have a keenly priced tyre outfit, just needs a little ringing around. Where are you based so that other forum members can point you in the right direction?

DannyBoy Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 I recently used Event Tyres after a recommendation on here, and whilst they were a bit more than £180 each (It was about £780 for all 4 corners) their price does include fitting at your home/workplace so it seems very good value to me. Also I have to say their customer service is excellent, as I was called away on a work emergency on the day I was supposed to be having the tyres fitted and went off on the train with my car keys in my pocket and the locking nut inside the car. The guy took payment from my dad (with my card), who was home, and dropped the tyres off, and then re-arranged fitting for the following day free of charge. All pretty hassle free for what could have been a nightmare. DB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spursmaddave Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 They are not a cheap tyre so you probably won't find them cheap, £180 is not bad really... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Where abouts are you? I know a couple of places in North kent that should be able to match that, or get very close Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4RE Leather Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 I have a trade account at RSR Coulsden and have 2 invoices beside me now they read 275/40 R18 BSTONE RE050A 99Y price £ 204.50 £409.00 245/40 R18 " " " " " £158.00 £316.00 WHEEL BALANCE OFF CAR £5.50 £22.00 VAT at 20% Total £896 40 So looks like my discount might not be as good as I thought! I assume we all have 99Y's which are rated like thus W 168 mph 270 km/h Exotic Sports Cars Y 186 mph 300 km/h Exotic Sports Cars I have seen the same 275 potenza for just shy of £300 on fleabay.

Hannahbtw Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 Hey Mike, I'm in the same boat as you...need 2 new rears to get it through the MOT next month as mine are near the wear bar...and want to stick with the RE050As. Cheapest quote I've had is £170.50 each (inclusive of everything) plus they'll do my MOT for £20 I'm in Milton Keynes. Hows the Zed going by the way!?

4RE Leather Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 Try this guy out for prices. Just search and you will find the right ones. Sometimes a wider tyre is cheaper and it does not hurt to go up a size or 2! http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/ava_tyres/m.html?item=190742780078&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2562 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
