I've just had to shell out for 2 new tyres on my Cmax and 4 new ones on the wife's MGZR (tyres on this one 7.5 years old with loads of tread left but starting to perish). Costly or what?
Anyway - after shopping around for a week or so I stumbled upon
http://www.tyre-shopper.co.ukGot 2 x 205x55x16v Avon ZV5 tyres for my motor for £130.00 and 4 205x50x16v Avon ZV5 tyres for the MG for £303.00
You buy them on line and book in at the nearest authorised garage.
Whilst having the Cmax tyres fitted I asked for a quote for the MG - same tyres with them were £111.00 each but on special offer of buy 3 get the last one free which bizarrely worked out at £345.00.
Needless to say I have just booked in the same garage for Monday and paid £303.00 for the 4.
