    Hi all,

    Unfortunately, the tyres on my car have worn down after 6,000 miles already and that isn't with hard driving either - seems like the garage who did the tracking didn't do it correctly.

    Anyways....so now I need new tyres? Has anyone experienced these?

    They are £145 each per corner fitted.
    Then £31 tracking on the latest machine using cameras etc.

    i think they are around the same price, just thought id let you know about the deal just incase, also works if you but two differnt sizes you still receive 20% off.
    unfortunatly they are quite a rare size and dont sell many of them thats why they are expensive! have a look around on other forums and see if its possible to change the tyre size but keep the same rolling curcumfrience.

    I need it sorting like today mate to honest and if Michelin as a good as what I have read, these are cheaper to run in the long term and lost 30,000 miles +

    Ordered them.

    On back order from Michelin until 25th February, so it's cost in total £343 including fitting, balancing, valves and tracking.
