255/45/19 tyres cheap!!!!!!

[Burnzybubbles]

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

Best thing is The part worns aren't even ready to be taken off yet 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.

just tried the same .... Over 480 quid .., i suspect they have amended it now

That's a shame lads, well I did try and give everyone a heads up, here's my invoice with sensitive info removed obviously.

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.

Got my tracking info today

Edit: oh and there is all five I just took a picture of three

Well done. It's the same size I use and a bargain at that price, but I still got plenty of tread on mine. And it was not that bad deal for myself, got a set of part used 2 year old GoodYear Eagle F1's with 7-7.5mm tread for £200 fitted last year but to be honest I am disappointed at cold weather and wet performance. Even this morning it was 11.5C dry and they started to oversteer going round the roundabout, had to hit the brake to shift the weight forward and get front under control, and they seem to wear quite fast. They have good grip in warmer weather though. My favorites have to be Michelins and Continentals lack slightly behind Michelin in performance but lasts just as long.

Would like to hear back how you get on with these.

[Burnzybubbles]

Not a problem, I'll put up here how I get on, I've also up sized my tyres to a 45 profile from 40, I usually use uniroyals or hankooks, the uniroyals are a very good tyre for there price, brilliant wet grip esp with the RS3's, until my tyres turned up I wasn't sure whether the spare would fit in the well, I'm glad to say it does there isn't any room for error and hopefully once the tyre is mounted on a rim it will still fit haha!
