They are blinkin' cheap though! Even compared to the £230 I paid in September for a pair
Thats cheap, what size are they?

Standard D2 S8 on Final Edition size, so 255/35ZR20 97Y XL

Prices seem to vary like airline tickets at the moment - constantly varying depending on stock and frequency of queries! Several sites I looked at had gone up from 1 day to the next.

Dropped my chipped front wheel off for refurb today to give them a chance to get it done by Friday when it'll be in the garage half a dozen doors down from the refurbishers. Now running my 12 year old spare with directional tyre mounted 'the wrong way' but not planning any monsoon driving

Just had a look on mytyres and the 265/35/20 are 267.80 ea for pilot super sports.

I got them for 252 ea fitted so can't complain really.

on another note when I picked the wheels from the powdercoaters the idiots had forgot to do the centre caps so running the shiny wheels without them

Well this evening my tyres have cleared through dpd's hub in Brum and are on route to Crawley. Unfortunately I'm dropping my car off when I get home for work and won't be here when they try to deliver the tyres! Tried changing the delivery to collect from depot but they won't let me until they've made one failed delivery attempt

There's a small chance driver will be back at the depot by the time I'm in the same area dropping the car off, but I'm NEVER that lucky lol. Guess it'll be a collect Thursday evening and try and get them fitted Friday or Saturday....

Quite looking forward to that new tyre feeling

Well that's 2 tyres picked up from DPD and my refurbed wheel was ready to collect this afternoon, so that's gone in the boot to be stuck back on the car tomorrow

Mileage noted and will see if they find anything else to report when they look at it tomorrow!
