I need to get a new set of tyres for my series 2.

Can any one reccomend what would be best.

Its still got origonal wheels, but iv heard of some people putting 45's on instead of 50's, which is better and why?

Also has any one used www.bestbuytyres.co.uk

Thanks

Just had a quick look on best buy tyres and they look expensive, try www.mytyres.co.uk - I've used them loads of times

Cheers mate, they do look better!

also try www.valuetyres.co.uk

stick with 195/50's as they are cheaper, less road noise and keep to the original spec (for speedos and looks)

Yeah, whats the going rate for tyres to be fitted?

GingeRS Your cars well nice mate seen it in for sale section If only i had abit more money atm

Well just a quick comparison:

Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3's:

Best Buy Tyres: £49.67

My Tyres: £36.70

Plus I don't know about postage on best buy tyres but its free on my tyres as long as you but more than one tyre, which you surely will
Postage is quick too

Best buy includes fitting though.

I think they sell tyres for a range of companies, i looked and i can buy them off there, and go to MR Tyre and have them fitted, old tyres disposed of, balanced for the price,

some places will charge up to a tenner a wheel to fit them so take that into consideration

often they dont like people bringing in their own tyres (cos the can get em cheaper on the net) so will amrk up the fitting

i used valuetyres as they give a fitted price and have loads of fitting stations near me

just pay online, then turnup and have them fitted, no hassle

I dunno about you, but I certainly don't pay £13 to have each tyre fitted, balanced, put back on the car and the old one disposed of
