Yep, A&A have quoted me £130 per corner, fully fitted, balance, disposal etc.

It will be at least another 3 weeks before i can get the Goodridge ATs as there is none in the country to replace the Bridgestone Dueler H/T. Its just as well im not desperate but the Bridgstones are not the best imo.
The V40 needs 225x40x17 winter tyres also but they are getting scarce .

Hi volvo145,

Yea 8 on the way (no idea why I typed 4 maybe hoping I only get charged for 4!!), should be here tomorrow. Anyway went for the Vredesteins in the end as they were recommended by the supplier over the Nokians, + better reviews + they were cheaper. Be glad to get them on as the roads round me are still dreadful. How are things your way?

Regards Buck

Now need to get my local dealer to fit & do 4 wheel laser alignment.

Regards Buck

Would be interested who you are using in Aberdeen? Also what size have you ordered?

Hi Buck.Roads are still the same but i will have to get out and catch up with some work.
I didn't know that you bought your tyres from Tesco Buy one get one Free.
Will they be giving you a rebate for the tyres you are swopping?.

volvo145,

Sure it will not be long before Tesco sell tyres, they seem to sell just about everything else!

I did not think about the rebate aspect, I will enquire today, thanks, otherwise there will be 4 new Pirelli 235/60/18 tyres for sale.

Take car on the roads.
