I will be getting 4 replacement wheels from Mini tomorrow so I thought whilst they are changing the tyres over to the new wheels I would be best to get them to replace my front tyres with new ones so if they scuff my new wheels when putting the tyres on then its there fault not Kwik fit etc and I will get another replacement. A Mini garage who is doing the work quoted me £340 for 2 so I got them else where. Jim Dicksons in the Cumbernauld village gave me 2 Kumho Ecsta run-flat tyres for £85 each, they get a great write up. Happy bunny:thumbs up: 4 new wheels and 2 new front tyres for £170 canny whack that(see this thread, first one they write up about). http://www.ctyres.co.uk/tyres/kumho.php

I just got new tyres on wednesday, had to get 4, cheapest I could find in aberdeen was Sillets.

KwikFit = £225 per tyre

Sillets = £152 per tyre

When its 4 tyre it make a big difference.
