Just had two new rear tyres fitted - Bridgestone turanza 205/55v16 at 25000miles. There is a new tyre and exhaust company opened on Normanton Road in Derby (No names - no pack drill) offering good opening offers so I priced up the tyres first of all at my usual tyre garage(can I mention BAB Motors?) who quoted me £127 the pair, fitted/balanced/new valves. Then I called they who shall be nameless with the same request - WOW £90. Great , off I went ,they fitted the tyres then tried to get me to have the tracking done for £30 --- so I say OK so that'l be £120 in total -still not a bad deal! OH NO!! Sorry sir that's £90 per tyre. After a short discussion it was agreed that some wires had been crossed ,the new tyres were removed and my original garage got the work. The Moral is -- if you have a good garage stick with it - if you MUST chase the so-called bargains get the deal in writing first.

Personally I use CostCo only stock Michelin but great prices especially if they are on offer in the Passport and you get 25% off four tyres.

I've used CostCo for Michelin but they can also order you budget types that can turn out to be great. I got some BF Goodrich!! types for £28 pounds each fitted. Mind you that was 12 months ago...
