cost of tyres v cost of insurance
lots of moans about cost of insurance,which of course we must have,but we also must have tyres, just bought two winter tyres for my 18" volans, each tyre was more than my insurance, why are tyres so expensive,? and no one gets on their high horse,lets have more moaners LOL.

Common size tyres will be less expensive, even for winter tyres I guess.

and I can get 4 tyres for the price of my insurance - and my road fund! And I'm relatively low risk - apart from having 3 points and doing 35k miles a year! |

I pay £450 for my S60, with no mods - mainly down to the mileage I cover it would seem (although 3 pts and one fault claim wont help! |

this is first year i have bought winter tyres,it`s not been bad up here for years,and there is a shortage of tyrs at the moment in the highlands,so i had to take what i could get,i will take them off and use normal ones till it gets bad again,they will only cost about £70/80 ,local fitter said they will change the tyres each winter for me at no cost,so we will see what the winter brings,malcolmk

I dont mind buying tyres, I get through a fair amount with rallying and autotests. When I changed the wheels on my car I just made sure that I could fit these...
http://www.camskill.co.uk/products.p...=m53b0s99p1667 Camskill seems to be a really good site, had 8 or so tyres off them so far and £30 for a T1R makes me happy.
