Default Need a set of 4 cheap tyres for my runabout

Anyone got any recommendations?

Thought about just buying a cheap set of 14"/15" alloys off ebay and try and get some with good rubber

Mytyres, I'm looking about £100 and will have to pay a local fitter for fitting...


So, anyone got any recommendations?

If you just need bits of round rubber that work just try your local Kwikfit etc - I once bought a set for a Nissan Sunny - £60 for 4 fitted

They were shite, but worked. And cost far less than pretty much anywhere on the net - and fitting is obviously far easier when you buy from the tyre fitters.

The internet / mail order places only really save you money when you're buying £80 plus a corner tyres.

The Ebay idea you had is a good one too...
