those prices sound far too cheap for tyres , if they are straight up then could you post a contact here

not sure re brakes , mine has done 23k and is still on first set ( afaik )

No thats about right for GSD3 in 18". They shouldn't be more than £125 a corner including fitting. If they are, (in fact if ANY tyre is £250 a corner) you've been horribly horrliby had!

The fronts are bigger on the 3? That's a bit odd for a RWD car.

Have you noticed your car handling a bit oddly since you changed the tyres last?

Oracle · 12 Jul 2006 at 17:32

£178 a corner in 19"s inc Fit and VAT

You dont need the extra load ones on the M3, perhaps thats why you've been paying slightly more.....dunno!

Doesn't that depend on how much of a fatty the driver is?
