Any more tyres? 225/55 R16
15. Dec 2009 at 20:16  
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.

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine

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

As to new tyres - mortgage comes first

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.

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.
