Damn... All mine have had new tyres in the last 6 months!

I bought 2 fronts last week from E-Bay VERY cheap but will also need 2 rears very soon so may well take up the offer at the end of the month

I don't think I would wan't to pay another £30.00 just to get a £10.00 voucher back. The comparable tyres I had fitted last week at £114.00 are £144.00 at Camskill !! :(

If they are not Uniroyal then no cashback, mute point

225/40 R18 £60
255/35 R18 £88

£3.50 per tyre delivery

Can't find them cheaper, got lucky on the pair I bought for the front last week from E-Bay price wise

You can sometimes get lucky, I do a lot of researching before I buy any car parts and have always gone cheaper for resale purposes, but recently I have found some really good bargains out there and quality too in good stead.
Some research I did on my AP brake calipers £440 for the repair kit I found Land Rover repair kit for £24 fit my calipers complete with pistons. Mind you it can take up a lot of valuable work time scouring the internet :(

What did you get ?. I have just put a pair of P Zero's on the rear of mine and they had done 25,000. The fronts when I changed them just over a year ago had done 20,000. Obviously I am not a boy racer, a bit past all of that. Mind you I have had my moments in my younger days. :rolleyes:

With the added power, and if you really put your foot down how long would they last do you think, I know it's a hypothetical question. My tyres were nearly new when I picked up the car and the rears are just below 5mm now, and I've covered about 2500k miles.

That is what I get with added power and I do drive it, more than happy with that mileage as they are a softer compound and very grippy
