I believe that PS4 is up to 18", above that and it's PS4S.

17” PS4 S are meant to be available in the UK from August apparently. I might hang on a month and see what happens rather than getting the PS4.

try black circles , usually good prices with money off if you buy 2, more money off if you buy 4

They are a decent price with fitting but I only need the tyres no fitting required.

Are the prices from blackcircles not competitive? You can order them without fitting for delivery only.

Will have a look but tbh if the “S” tyres are coming in my size next month I will wait for them.

Prices at Blackcircles are approx £80 each and tyreleader they are £86 each so Blackcircles are the better price. Will await the “S” and see if BC are cheaper then too...

Cheers

They are with fitting didn’t realise you could just order tyres alone from them...

I used to get my tyres through a mate for cost price but the selfish git only went and moved to Australia..... lol

What are tyre fitting places generally like when you buy tyres online and not from them? I keep looking at black circles and camskill etc but would just feel a bit scummy not buying the tyres from the fitters. How do people generally work it?

Cheers, I do generally use my local place as it's really handy and they're very helpful but I've only used them for work tyres not my own so I may give them a ring and see what they can do.

I use Black circles for the fitted price, just arrange and day and the tyres turn up at the garage on time, all through with no problems
Asked the garage and they said they cant beat that price if you buy from them

Always had Eagle f1 2s until i bought the ST which has budgets on, anyway got a puncture and feel its time to get some proper tyres as they've been driving me mad. We all still saying the PS4 is the best 17" tyre? debated on that and the much cheaper RS3s but wear worried me.

I've just replaced my fronts with Yokohama BluEarth's and my initial impression is that I'm very impressed.

Increased my fuel efficiency by 10% and I can throw the focus round corners with no hint of loss of traction. It is the first time that I've bought 'premium' tyres and I am glad that I did, now hopefully I'll find that they wear well too.

I hate to think what you was running before if replacing the fronts has given you a 10% fuel saving..

They're Yokohamas...they'll last about 45 minutes before they're worn out!

They grip well but wear fast because they're made out of blu-tac.
