:whistle: I know this has been covered hundreds of times but where are the cheapest Michelins on the net please!?

I need a pair of front's in size 225/40/18 for the Girlf BMW Convertible, I would like to get them on before the weather really turns so will more then likely order them this week.

I want PS2's or just Pilot Sport's ideally, failing that I've been told BF Goodrich are made by Michelin and pretty good? and I've also been told Bridgestone's are meant to be bloody good and worth their money too?

So, can anyone point me in the right direction in terms of brand AND price please? :)

Thanks :thumbs:

It's ok, I wouldn't let you near them with your track record (and track wheels)! :bigcry: :bigcry:

Just some friendly help is all I was after to help the girlfriend out, thanks Matt :)

Costco were doing 20% off on 4x Michelins when I last looked, but will need an account. Alternatively Kwik Fit have always been good for price beating with the choice of fitting or supply only.

Thanks chaps, dependent on cost of fitting I might just get a quote from Kwik fit to supply only as I have a friendly tyre fitter in the local area that I can trust :)

TBH Dan i've done the rounds over the past week pricing up what i need. There is cheaper out there but having never heard of the companies before and there only being a couple of quid in the prices i didnt see the point in taking a chance.

Used Camskill for tyres a couple of years ago and had no problems so here they are again getting my business :thumbs:
Their postage is quite cheap as well.....less than a tenner for the 6 tyres delivered to the NE of scoootland is nae bad :smokin:
