Loads of others................. but you could go round in circles for ages. I compared about a dozen sets for mine recently, web reports, etc and finally ended up with a set of..... Michelin Primacy Pilots 205/55/16W from Costco at £64 +VAT each and have been well impressed with them. Local tyre place wanted £93 for same.

BTW that's a godd price fitted I assume cheaper than My Tyres on the Web.

yeah, thats from costco too

apparently a lot of the tyres are rebranded, is that true?

Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3 195/50 R15 82V

Bit of lower profile as its 50 instead of 60... BUT...

From www.mytyres.co.uk for £32.20 each! Well known as the best tyre you can buy.

Does anyone know how well Michelin Pilot Sports compare to Goodyear Eagle F1s? Costco sell the Pilot Sports, and it's so easy getting the tyres done there, I can't be bothered faffing with buying tyres online.

how much would a tyre fitter charge to fit tyres?

How about Goodyear Hydragrips?

They cost me ~£105 for 2 for my Leon. Though they were 195/65/R15, so i guess the pricing wont be the same

my local does it for £10 each and free disposal of the old one's or theres another local that does it for £9 plus £1 disposal either way its the same really unless you want to keep the tyre? maybe create a rubber swing in the back garden

or a climbin frame of all your old tyres

might take a while to make a wall of em them though
