Default Tyres

Just rang Kwik Fit , they quoted me 525 quid for two P Zeros (18/265/35 N4), so I went on their online site and bought same tyres for 384 quid. Getting them fitted Wednesday. 141 quid cheaper online but with same company

Pays to go online .

The way i figure this is that they have to be competative online as you can just search around and get the best price. If you drive up in your poker and say i want new tyres, you dont have anything to check the quoted price against so they will probably quite often get anyway with the much higher price.

Just take a look at pcworlds website for another good example of this.

Just had them fitted, a lot of people diss those Kwik Fit boys but the ones I use are fine. Used two trolley jacks to jack car each side, was very careful, even used a torque wrench . Took good care
