Hi all, having my replacement wheels fitted today at Hartwell Watford. They have called me to say both fronts are near legal limit, which I knew from recent MOT.

They have said the drivers side is starting to show ‘cord’ so needs replacing now, so going to replace the front pair. Wanted to charge me nearly £127 each wheel to replace with a Nexen tyre. I told them not to and put the old ones on and I will get changed at my local tyre place.

Does anyone have recommendation for tyres? Or should I just stick with Continentals that I believe are on there?

Local can get these:

Pirelli Powergy for £111

Goodyear Eagle F1 Astmmetric 2 £119

Bridgestone Turanza T005 £121

Continental Contisport contact 3 £126

Hankook Ventus S1 Evo 3 £128

Anyone offer advice? 
 

Thanks

 

Can't go wrong with Michelins

With discount, can get the Michelin Primacy 4 for £128 each

Picked my car up with new wheels. They actually look lovely! And existing tyres are Michelin Pilot Sport 4’s, so will stick with them.
 

Just hunting down prices for new now. Best I can get for a pair is £265.

Well that's the one came with the Titanium X new from the factory should be very good.

£128 is a very good price.

 

Personally I'll never buy

Gone with same as existing tyres, Michelin Pilot Sport 4.

 

Blackcircles.com were cheapest and have a £15 discount on 2 Michelin's, with fitting at a local garage just over 1/2 mile away they came in at £248 for the pair. Booked in for Friday morning.
