Good price for boots?

Just been quoted £95 per tyre (fitted) for pirelii p6000 255/45/18... is this a good price? & more importantly is it a good tyre?

cheers.

No experience of them myself - but I recall seeing other member's comments being not so good on the P6000s

The wifes Punto 1.2 is on P6000's.

The fronts wore out after 14.000 miles and it even manages to break traction far too easily - it's only a 1.2 8 valve on 15" wheels!

Getting rid in favour of F1's very soon.

seems a good price but are you sure the size is right? i have 18"s and they are 225/45/18

oops i did mean 225/45's

breaking traction

dont like the sound of that......i think might get a price on toyo proxes T1R's... i've just been doing some reading up on them and they seem to be a good all round tyre.

I have T1Rs on the 888 mate and

Pirellis arn't bad, good tyre for that money IMO.

Where was that price?

**2ltrT** · 30th August 2006, 07:58

c&s tyres grange road, m'bro (near bus station) ... if the t1r's arnt much more expensive i'll be getting those.

Will pop over there when I am due. Thanks mate.

I'm really not a fan of P6000's... don't find they hold well on wet corners. Guess a lot of it comes down to the car's capability but I had them on two cars and lost it in both far to easily...

Try Yokahama S380's.
I have covered 13000 miles on them so far and expect to get another 5k out of them.
They grip like s**t to the proverbial blanket, perform really well in the wet and aren't any noisier than other tyres I've used.
Just my 2p worth.
