255/45/19 tyres cheap!!!!!!
 
Long story cut very short, I had my 19" alloys refurbed and was tight with cash, put a set of 255/45/19 dunlops on there to tide me over, there 1% greater rolling radius than the 275/35/20 on the final edition alloys, whilst doing a bit of window shopping came across these....

Now I know maxxis have been around a long time, not had any dealings with them, and reviews are all over the place but seem to have gotten mostly positive recently, but at the end of the day I've just ordered 5 tyres for £140 delivered to my door so I'll give them a go, use the money I've saved here to pay for the timing chain tensioners and the gearbox service :D+++

Best thing is The part worns aren't even ready to be taken off yet :ROFL: I just couldn't miss the opportunity.

They are currently showing as £98 each, if you paid a lot less then I suspect it was a pricing error and the order will be cancelled.

Hahahaha! Yes I paid £30 each, got a full set for of 5 for £140, not sure on European laws but if that was in England they'd have to warrant the sale, I've not received any cancelation emails as of yet, I'll let you know if they turn up +++

Edit: also unsure whether they would have to come under UK laws as they are selling them in the UK on a UK website, or at least the site is all in English, oh I don't know, I'd be surprised if they didn't warrant the sale though if in honest.

They sometimes sell new old stock at very good prices, I bought a set of GoodYears for mine for less than half their normal price. They had 2 year old manufacturing stamps.

Yea I did that before but they usually state the DOT code on the advert, these apparently from their website layout should be brand spanking new, I think as previously mentioned they made a mistake or tried to shift a few by drastically reducing price, just waiting for my tracking number then I'll be a happy chappie :D

I saw your post last night and clicked the link while the price was £28 odd. Didnt buy though and when i clicked back half an hour later price had jumped. If i hadnt just thrown a wad on 255/35/20s I would have bought them as spares for my winters.

Let us know if they turn up, they don't have to honour the sale if there is an error. Plenty of cases of orders being cancelled from Amazon, Argos etc. when the price was wrong on the website.

Just looking at trading standards as it was always my belief that you had to warrant it, but they state basically if the transaction is completed and agreed, then unless the T&C state they can cancel the order up until delivery then they don't have much to go on, it looks like I'm in the clear, fingers crossed it comes through, I've got to find somewhere to store them now :ROFL:
