Exclamation Tyre help

Hello everyone,

Does anyone have any good contacts for cheap good quality tyres fitted? Need the following: Front x2 - 225/35R19. Rear x2 - 255/30R19 (NONE RUN FLAT!!)

I'm in the Lancashire area.

Also does anyone have any good recommendations for none run flats??

Your help is much appreciated.

Normally Black Circles are a fair price, order online and pick a tyre fitter near you.
Or same for E-Tyres.

Im having good results from Falken 452, and I'm quite hard on my cars

Falken 452's are probably the best tyre on a budget. Kumho Ecsta Sport KU31 are good too - I had these on my E93 and was pleasantly surprised at the grip and ride. I would've bought the Falkens had I been able to get them at the time, however.

If you can come up with slightly more cash the Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta is a good tyre.

Cant comment on dealers in your area as I'm from the south.

I think you will have to go up one size with the Falkens, so 235/36 and 265/30.

Sorry that should read 235/35.

You need 235/35/19 on the fronts and 265/30/19 on the rear if you are going to go with the Falken. Loads of people on here have done this and been pleased, you will get plenty of change from £700 too.
