Hi all

I've been pretty quiet over the past year or so :blush:

My Cooper S was in for a service on Friday and noted that my two fronts are getting a little bald. Anyone know the best place in Aberdeen for new tyres? Is Costco any good (next door to my work) Rough cost per tyre *holds breath*

I just have the standard 17" runflats.

Thanks for any info.

Cheers

Gary

For run flats i couldn't get a better price than John Clark's (Dundee)

I found that Costco were the cheapest for michellin but there a lot of cheaper good tyres around.

I always found Turriff Tyres to be very competitive

Hi guys

Thanks for the comments so far.

Turriff a little too far............what's the name of the place in Dyce next to the now demolished Lawson's of Dyce? Had a quick look at the Kwik Fit website and the cheapest seem to be the Continentals. Currently have Dunlops.

Cheers

Garage on Market St. Got mine for 116 each. They made a cracking job of it. not like Colion Smith in Dyce. I kept having to go back because they'd done something to the edge of the sidewall putting them on with equipment not properly equipped for the job (I'm sure that made sense to me).
Max price I've ever been quoted in Abz is 125. Dearest of course those thi*vi*g g*ts - JC.

if your getting runflats again i would strongly advise you to stick with the dunlops out of the runflats they are by far the best
