Hi,
Had Michelin Diamaris fitted just after Christmas at 28000 miles - very pleased with the tyres. First set since new.
Fitted at Costco for £460 they had a 20% offer on at the time. I did have to wait about 4 weeks as they were on a back order from Michelin. Not many places have the XC90 tyres (235/60 r18) in stock

How did you go about finding a local supplier for the Nokians? I am in the East Midlands if anyone has any good suggestions.

Cheers.

Hi there,
I live in the west midlands( stafford).If you are prepared to travel that far, I can get you the address and phone no of the company.the tyres do need to be ordered in ( took about 3 days)
I paid £300.00 for all four tyres(fitted)with a bit of haggling!!!

Just replaced 4 tyres (all down to 2mm) with like for like (Continental 235/60 R18 103V's) at 24,800 miles on my 54 reg 2005 model - apparently a good mileage.

Cost, with new valves, electronic balancing and casing disposal, was £147.80 each at Micheldever Tyres (Hampshire) 01962 774437.

Also had alignment checked and adjusted on their mirrors and light pit for extra £27. Brilliant service from highly knowledgeable folk and well worth a call if you have any queries on wheel size, tyre type and model suitability.

A good price for the tyres as MyTyres sell those for £149 each...
Which obviously does not include fit and balance..

To date, these tyres have now covered 27500 miles. Two of the tyres have 6.5 mm of tread left and the other two have 8.0 mm of tread. (These tyres start with 11 mm tread)

The Nokians were purchesed from www.mytyres.co.uk but unfortunately they do not have any supplies of Nokian tyres just now. (I checked yesterday)

One of the main Importers of Nokian tyres (Taken from the Nokian web site) is:- Nordic Tyres (UK) Ltd, Unit 2, Sydney Place, Lockerbie, DG11 2JA, Dumfries. Tel:- 01576 203020.

When I purshesed the tyres they cost £102.50 each, which included Vat and delivery.
I will be looking to replace these tyres with another set of Nokians before October 2007. Very satisfied with them.

I see that www.mytyres.co.uk are advertising the above Nokian Tyres again at £98.80 inc vat and delvery.

I replaced the original Continentals (all 4) on my 05 T6 at 14000. The garage (owned by a friend) suggested ordering in the Nokians. When I called to collect the car they they insisted on showing me that the tread pattern on the Nokians was identical to the Continentals. I've now done 1700 on the new tyres and can't fault them. Had all 4 fitted etc for £350!!
