Anyone got a clue where I can find cheap 225/45ZR17 snow tyres and fitting close to Bedford or Melton Mowbray? The Evo owner wants some on one of the cars, the other car already has them. -- Lozzo SV650S K5, ZX-7R P4, CBR600F-W, SR250 SpazzTrakka, SR250 Project SpazzCaffer I see a bright new future, where chickens can cross the road with no fear of having their motives questioned
www.camskill.co.uk seem to have about the best range of winter tyres in the UK, and damn good prices, but they're mail order and up in the Lake District. You should be able to find somebody to fit 'em locally easy enough, in exchange for crossing their palms with a drinking voucher or two...
http://www.tyre-shopper.co.uk/winter-tyres.asp? has some. Speed rating is H or V, which is possibly as high as winter tyres go, £117 fro an Avon is cheapest per tyre.
Way too expensive. We'll use what the car has currently fitted and he can get his own in Austria. He thinks the prices here are extortinate, I'm inclined to agree.

talk to Bedford Wheels. http://www.bedford-wheels.co.uk -- Adie (replace spam with nickname to reply) UKRM FAQ: http://www.ukrm.info/faq/ YZF-R1 : ZX9R-E1 keeper of the FAQ for my sins MRO#11 BOTAFOF#7 BOTAFOT#130 DIAABTCOD#17 MIB#24 YTC#16 BOB#15 ex-UKRMMA#22 BOMB#11
I know Phil the owner quite well, I'll give him a bell in the week. -- Lozzo SV650S K5, ZX-7R P4, CBR600F-W, SR250 SpazzTrakka, SR250 Project SpazzCaffer I see a bright new future, where chickens can cross the road with no fear of having their motives questioned
Yep, I'd think they'd be cheaper there as they're more popular so many more suppliers and lower prices through competition. If they weren't so expensive here I'd seriously consider having a set for winter use. I used to commonly fit Mud and Snow tyres yonks back, but haven't seen them here at all, which surprises me in sticksville.
Another vote for Camskill - they do next day delivery on stock items anyway, and they're a very helpful bunch, too. This is Lozzo, I doubt he would have a problem finding someone who could fit a tyre or three for him .
So do I, there's a sense of joy as you watch it rolling the bead over, a little childish but ultimately satisfying. I've done the odd Saturday just fitting bike tyres, that isn't so bad, but doing it non stop all week, week in week out would drive me nuts. -- Lozzo SV650S K5, ZX-7R P4, CBR600F-W, SR250 SpazzTrakka, SR250 Project SpazzCaffer I see a bright new future, where chickens can cross the road with no fear of having their motives questioned
