on a similar vein, my dad took his 6-month old focus to a tire place today, to be told they dont make cheap tires for that car any more. so he shelled out £105 for a michellin one. ONE tire. Because it had a bubble in the tire wall. £105 for one new tire.


£105

I paid £70 2 years ago for FOUR tires for my olde micra.

I used etyres mobile tyres fitting service, for a puncture repair recently, I hardly had to 'get out of bed' no hassle ... Guy even brought a tyre (my spec.) just in case my puncture was irreparable.
Turned up on time didn't offer me shox or any other service.

Guess where I go next time?

Unfortunately there's quite a difference between the tyres. The micra tyres are likely only 135/80/13's or somewhere around there. i'd have thought the focus may have 15 or 16 inch wheels on it. And throwing michelins on it is definitely gonna be expensive.

As for them saying they don't make cheap tyres for that car anymore, thats total crap.

Write down the size of your tyre and have a look here.

id like to know who wore them first and where do they come from

 

[Nige F]

Poland by the vanload and then they stick Plumbski on the side when they`ve offloaded the tyres

Bunch of bl00dy liars. Should be shut down.

To echo the post above, I have used blackcircles.com many times and they are great. Good tyres much cheaper and they are delivered to a tyre centre of your choosing. You turn up and get them fitted having paid for everything on t'internet.

i get tyres from breakers yard . you need to jack car up outside house and take wheel/wheels off and get someone to take you down to yard and they will fit tyres for 10£ each perectly new tyres you could drive down there and take the wheels off there if you carnt get down there any other way

It cost me £115 to get a Primera key. Then, my mate who's a locksmith says he can do them for peanuts, that includes programming the new chip. So anybody needing a new key should go to the local locksmith before the dealer.
