Cost of tyres!

nickc · 10-12-2008, 12:01 PM

Has anyone seen the cost of replacement tyres for the 18 inch wheels on the coupe? Front £166, rear £220 each!!!

Not suprised unfortunately. Have you already had to change tyres?

nickc · 10-12-2008, 01:06 PM

No not yet (touch wood) just looked for info really. I knew they were alot but didn't think that much

Get normal tyres rather than run flats, that's the easy choice. You'll easily save £100+ on a full set.

The only risk you take is having to pay £40-50 or so for a new TPMS is you do get a puncture and have to use some tyre goo

Are there TMPS's? I thought the ECU worked it out from wheel rotation speed....

nickc · 10-13-2008, 02:51 AM

I would keep the runflats I think, was just didn't think a single tyre would be £200+

I expected that, not good but what can you do. Just gotta hope never to put a hole in one.

i got a rivet in my rear left, and hence a puncture after owning the car 3 days

so im more than aware of the costs...

Its crazy though the prices, especially when they wreck the wheel getting the old tyre of the rim as they did on my 2005 MINI Cooper

Cost us £1200 to change the 4 tyres on our 335d!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

£360 each for the rears

Thankfully my company pays for my 135i tyres, so I chew them up for fun:biggrin:

MattD · 10-13-2008, 03:39 PM

Bloody hell! £360 a piece?! That's like 295/30 19 P Zero Corsa territory
