yeh then add in delivery and 15 quid a corner for them to be fitted and youre still on about £200.

Ive had the RS2 and the PS3s and the PS3s are much better.

nope wrong!

i did a price match and they dropped the delivery charge
i also got the 4 fitted for £10 Tongue

be warned a lot of tyre places wont fit tyres they dont supply! so unless you know somone who fits tyres you might be paying more for the fitment Wink

I'm sure Bash could fit some for you. Big Grin

Also agree'd on RS3s being much better than RS2's!! I'll be sticking mine on the front of the '6 when it goes OTR. Wink

15 a corner?! my price at the local has varied from nowt to £20 for all 4 fitted and balanced.

might help I dispose of the old tyres myself usually, or take bare wheels.
need a part number? http://public.servicebox.peugeot.com/ and http://service.citroen.com/ will sort you out.

If you pay 'real' prices, it is about £15 to fit and balance now. And most places won't accept a no-receipt cash deal anymore. Sad I used to get tyres fitted and balanced at a fiver each in a couple of different places. Now they won't do it anymore. Sad

You're going to the wrong places if they don't do cash, infact I doubt you'll get a receipt from my local if you asked lol

I've got a full set of RS3s and I'm happy with them.

They are not the best tyres money can buy by a long way, but they are very good for the money, and in the wet they don't particularly handle very differently!

You're quite limited on tyres if staying to the 55 profile. I recently fitted a set GoodYear Efficient Grip in 55s, as only 2 of my tyres were dead. The othesr I considered were Dunlop and another set of Michelins, but not Pilots.

Be warned if going to BlackCircles, make sure the garage they send you to for tyre fitting will actually do centre-less alloys. I got sent to a big place in Reading only to find out they did not, even though I made it clear on the phone when booking. Ended up being re-directed to another place other side of Reading.

At least I know a place that can do centre-less alloys.
