I think this is right - bit dark to see at the moment.

I am looking for 2 possibly 4 tyres decent brand and cheap to get my car through its MOT.

Money is VERY tight at the moment (due to recession) so price is important.

I would be able to pay by paypal - depends how much I get for some powerline adaptors on Ebay.

Basically is there a car being scrapped with decent rubber.

Thanks

Martin

IF, and it is a big if - I get the Omega running on Saturday, I could have a look in Harry Bucklands for you - and drop them off to you on my way up to the M50.......

Have 8 wheels/tyres stacked up in garage. Just checked, all mine are 235/45/17, and fitted to buckled wheels.

could ways fit the spare for the MOT, just maybe need one then?

Not that anyone this way would have done that before  ::)

Wishbone bushes took out both fronts, rears are near limit unfortunately.

As to new tyres - mortgage comes first

I have 2 here, cheap, one with good tread the other about 4 inches but would be ok for MOT :) £20 for the pair...£11 delivery :) Is someone coming to get something for you from mine today?? I'm sure he mentioned your name??

Where can I get some of those  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Did you mean 4mm???     ;) ;) ;) ;)

Got a single avon ZZ3 in 235 45 17 with 3,4,3 mm across it. Could do that for £25 delivered? have also got a set of minifacelift Elite rims with two nearly new 225 55 16 Wanlis on them for £100.(other two tyres are scrap) Reckon you could probably get £60 to £70 for the rims if you resold them. Only probs would be shipping which would be £30 but collection welcome.

Oops yes mm lol will check out the make in a sec, think ones a good brand the other is an ok brand...

D Day is 16th of January :( :(

What about trying the part worn dealers in your area, fitted, balanced and with a warranty incase of defect.  Allways worth haggling on price.  I have a mate who deals in them, quite a margin of profit to haggle over especially if buying 4.

They need to be "educated" with Sammy Sledgehammer not sold, awful devices!   >:(

Problem solved - MIL says she would rather not risk her grandchildren so will pay a tyre place for me.
