Title: Best prices for 235/35-19 tyres - either Contis or Michelins?
Post by: Pablos007 on November 23, 2010, 03:02:52 pm
My new wheels have arrived early(!!) so I'm now in a rush to get the best prices for 235/35-19 tyres (x4).  

On my current 19" wheels I'm running Dunlop Sport Maxx's, but looking to change to either Contis or Michelins.  

Priced up Sport Contact 3's at around £170, and Pilot 3's at £215 for delivery only!!  

Any ideas where I can get a mega deal and beat these prices?  Thanks.

These are the wheels - Neuspeed RSe 14 - 19" in graphite/charcoal/anthracite:

those wheels look mint mate  :happy2:

as for tyres, try the usual web places - camskill, mytyres, blackcircles or local indepedent tyre shops i have found to be competitive too

with 19s though they aint going to be cheap, your lucky they are rather narrow, as michelins cost me £330 a corner for 265/35/19...  but you get what you pay for, having tried pirellis, continental etc i always return to the michelins

Thanks.

I've looked on most of those websites and the prices are roughly the same.  One of the lads on here (Monte) paid £480 delivered for some Contis but he hasn't been on here for a week or so - shame as I wouldn't mind a deal like that!!

I feel your pain, as I put Michelins on my M3 last year and they cost me over £600 for the two rears.......  :sad: :sad:

I managed to get a really good price from Black Circles by using a discount code from one of the forums - can't find it at the mo - when I find it I'll post it up!

Oh, and try http://www.event-tyres.co.uk/ if you're covered by them. I've used them and their service was great - they come to you.

Can't wait to see them on a black MK5  :wink:
