Tyre prices?
- Thread starter n111ck
- Start date
Manufacturing costs, transportation and gas and electricity costs. Making tyres is hot work, requiring lots of heat. Rubber needs transported to the factories and fuel costs have risen too.
Do look around though, prices can vary considerably and keep an eye on the tyre thread here as people will often post discount codes or offers.

I've only found they're expensive through Black Circles etc
If you're buying them from somewhere like Camskill, they're significantly cheaper.
E.g. 245/35 R18 in PS5 from Black Circles is ~175 fitted. I've seen them as high as 200 fitted.
From Camskill, 140 each plus fitting.

That wasn't my experience finding midrange tyres for the OH, they were the same price everywhere pretty much. ProTyre I think was the cheapest when we got them fitted, but that may very well be tyre-specific (as is what you're finding).

You need to keep an eye out for offers. I had two Goodyear's fitted earlier this year for a decent price. Obviously not cheaper than before but not crazy either. Just keep an eye out on HotUKDeals once a week.

Tell me about it! I paid under £400 for a couple of Michelin Cross Climate 2's a year ago. I could do with another 2 now but I'm looking at £550+ and that's with shopping around....daylight robbery!
Seen this company https://www.datechs.co.uk/tyres selling 'New' tyres on ebay https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/oemrefurbishedwheels
Feedback rating is good and price for the tyre I was looking at was £50-60 cheaper than anywhere else, although it does say the tyre was manufactured in 2021.
Can't help but feel I'm missing something and there's a hidden catch somewhere.

Fixed for you.
I was only thinking the other day... Actual Cost of living seems more like a 30% increase over the last year.
