Hi guys, looking for some advice. My front tyres need changing and I want to get rid of the run flats.
Seen these on black circles.

They've also got these ones.

I asume the difference is just the ones at the bottom are run flats?
Seems a decent price.
What do you think?

[Thermobaric]

Yeah. It has RF next to it for run flat.

[class2ldn]

Isn't the run flat one the older design as the 2 is the newer one?
Any opinions on the Eagle f1?

[col2611]

Have you checked the mail order price? They are charging you £17 per tyre to change them.

Not changed any for a while, not sure if that's a good price

Got them fitted on mine and they're a very good tyre.

I have them fitted on 19" MV4's and my only complaint is that I decided to go 10mm wider tyres all round..no issues with the rears as I fitted them first, however when the fronts were fitted the droned like mad at low speeds (30-40mph).

My own mistake and not an issue wih the tyre itself.

However due to this and preferring the look of the 235 next I think I will either be going for Michellin PSS or Conti SC 5

[class2ldn]

Yeah see what's the general consensus with tyre width? Keep them the same as the tyres on now?

Well just went through to checkout and it's just come out at £293?

[class2ldn]

Yeah if you have them fully fitted it's an all inclusive price so 293.
Them tyres are being charged at 11.50 if I have them delivered to my house.
Say £10 a tyre fitted plus disposal of old will probably be a bit dearer so all inclusive would be tge better option.
Plus get cashback lol.
Any other recommended delivery websites?

I'm on Michelin pss and would say what an excellent tyre and same price as the Goodyear.
Also the Michelin suppose to be good in winter, not as good as the winters but also help if you not got a winter setup.
Also try tyreleader.co.uk

These ones Yeah?

I changed my tyres for goodyear eagle f1s. Great tyres but they seem to have gone up in price recently.

I've just ordered a full set of MPSS for mine in 19's (235/265). Costco are doing then m for £677.12 fitted with nitrogen. I've got them from my usual source at £660 fitted. Not sure how that compares though.

[class2ldn]

Well they are doing them fitted for £583.
I think they deliver them to the garage you pick on their website and you just make a booking for when you're free. Plus if I go through topcashback I get some money back
Can't really afford to do front and back this month as buying a house lol. The rears are bit dearer.
Don't need doing but don't want to mix rfts and non for too long

[Thermobaric]

Prices for tyre fitting have shot up around me over the last few years thanks to online people like Black Circles e.t.c. becoming common. Tyre fitters were charging pennies for fitting and not making anything on the tyres hence inflating fitting costs.

As of now.

Per corner;
BMW want £21.75 + VAT
Big chain type place £20
BMW specialist £15 + VAT
BMW specialist 2 £25 + VAT
Local tyre place £19 + VAT

As was said, try tyre leader. You can get a full set of kumho's for £400 or so. Then you just need to pay for fitting.

Rainsport 3's for me. Budget price but premium performance. Order mine from tyre leader.
