Kwik Fit online v Dealer Tyre Prices

pjs · 04-30-2009, 10:34 AM

Should anyone be replacing tyres soon

To replace my now worn rears, £559 at Dealer (Bridgestone Potenza 255/35 18's), £424.80 via Kwit Fit online. Booked in for Tuesday with Kwik FIt then.

Not tried it before, so there you go.

Costco were quoting £289 per corners for Michellins

You can probably get cheaper than Kwik Fit.

Irnbrukid · 04-30-2009, 11:41 AM

Yeah but you cant get better than a Kwik Fit Fitter.

KF are cheap for the Eagle F1 Asyms, £129 fitted for the 225-40/148, but no sign of the 255-35/18 rears on the site.

I reckon on about £575 for all 4 at 18" staggered. Time to enquire

Just going through the same process. I need a single rear having already replaced the other about 6 months ago after a puncture. Got quoted the same £289 from Costco for a 255/35/18 PS2. Dealer was £245 + VAT. When I walked away, they offered a straight £245.

Kwik Fit doing it tomorrow with a Bridgestone for £215.

if you are in North London give Marcus a call at Wembley Tyres = his guys to a superb job at a decent price.
