Probably one of the more common sizes, although if in the highly unlikely scenario they honour the deal I'll sell them on brand new at a reasonable price!

Which is why they won't honour the deal

Hah let's hope this works out! No idea whether the tyres are my size or not...Audi A3 52 plate if anyone knows?

Hmm, ordered, but is there really going to be any point actually turning up? they dont seem to charge online and there is no way they are not going to charge at the fitting centre

A little too small for my car.

Let's hope there isn't a catch.

Of course there will be, you cant pay online and have to book an appointment. There is no way that the guys at the fitting centre are not going to charge.

Just the right size for the car. Let's see . . .

Fill me in...I don't get why it's funny. I guess my car is too little

Cant you take the approach of 'I'm paying for the service advertised' / price advertised?

Jez · 22 Jul 2013 at 09:32

I dont think there is much point making the effort to go all the way into town in the middle of the day just to have a pointless argument about something which they will never honor.

they won't add into my basket for me have the cottoned on?

Just say you've come to collect your tyres, you will fit them yourself..KTHnXBAI

Just ordered 6,my size too!

Although I'm not holding my breath.. Could make a pretty penny though so it's worth a punt!

Nice find!

I'm stunned by all the people across the Internet that think they will get this deal.

This isn't like the early 2000's I incident with the Kodak dx3700 deal when it was believable that it was on a special offer, and they had the wrong text in their confirmation email which legally bound them to honour the purchases (I remember someone on here bought 100 of them !!)

As no money changes hands on the booking transaction it is obvious they will expect payment on the day.

What are you going to do, dispute this after they fit the tyres and hope you upset them enough that they just shrug it off and let you leave ?!!

As above.

The idea to get the upper hand on Halfords is a welcome one, but it just ain't gonna happen.

I remember that Kodak incident.

Has this been fixed, nothing mentioning free Tyres? |When my details have been input :confused:

Good a time as any to build my own race track.

Ordered, 10,000.

Dave · 22 Jul 2013 at 12:08

Just had an email from the local Halfords manager to tell me that it'll be £89/tyre on the day, so goodbye sweet free tyres!

Haha, this is about to happen a lot ^
