View Full Version : Cheap tyres
Does anyone know where i can get new, but cheap 195/45/15's? I want a decent'ish make but dont really want to pay more than ?35 a tyre, because then i'll have to have them fitted and it'll come up to ?200.
Is there much 'ride comfort' difference between 195/45/15's and 50/15's aswell?
Cheers :D
sercah for event mobile tyres, they did me a great price on F1's for the omega, inc fitting on the driveway

I always thought the mobile tyre companies were expensive, taking advantage of people with no time etc.
the tyres were ?117 off my tyres, or ?150 from quickfit and i paid ?99 per tyre inc fitting from event :-)
cheap imo
i paid ?99 per tyre inc fitting from event
:o Very cheap-I've waiting for a quote from them on 4 uniroyals, but if they turn out to be quite cheap i might go for a better brand. Thanks for the info
paid about ?54 each for some 195/45 toyo proxies balanced and fitted on my own driveway

topgear.co.uk do uniroyal rainsport1's for ?35 a tire
Just got my quote-?47 for 195/45/15 uniroyals-not fitted, just delivered as they don't cover bristol :roll:
topgear.co.uk sound alright, i'll have a look and toyo proxies for ?54 fitted is pretty good aswell, where from?
And is there a feelable difference with 45's rather than 50's?
i think topgear do yoko a539's in 195/50/15 for less than ?30
195/45/15's wont ever be ?35 fitted.
i got some yoko a395 fitted and balanced for roughly ?45 a tyre, and they are really good performers, i'd recommend them
no good in the cold tho, gotta let em warm up a bit first.
it's not worth buying budget tyres IMO, they last half as long but only cost ?10 a tyres less.
I got a Nankang NS-II ultrasport for ?48 including fitting, new valve and balancing.
Pretty good i think, may be not the best tyre but they will do for me.
That is 195/45/16 as well.
I know one thing i have learnt about having smaller wheels, cost of tyres, i will probably be shifting to 15s, for cheaper tyre prices and decent handling.
my uniroyal rainsport 1s were 40 per tyre fitted from whellbase :lol:
Well looking on topgear the kumho tyres are looking the best but i heard they wear quite quickly?
Anyone know what all the numbers mean aswell? Like, Kumho 195/50R15 KH11 82V and Kumho 195/50R15 712 82V ???
Their 195/45/15's are only ?27.36 :o
Kumho's are shit, not as quick wearing as nankang's tho.
honestly, i've been trough a set of Nankangs which lasted abotu 3 months, and a set of Kumho's which lasted about 4 months.
And i drive like a grandad.
It was partly tracking which is fixed now, but they are just shit tyres.
My yoko's have been on 5 months now, and still have way over 1/2 the tread left.
