Hi i need a new front tire on my vx turbo but they're incredibly expensive everywhere i've looked! At £153 the cheapest i've found so far! does anyone know of any cheap websites? I've tried black circles and mytires but they're still expensive!

any help would be appreciated!

What size(s)? I have used Event Tyres without a single problem for years - although on considerably more mainstream cars.

Camskill possibly also worth a look.

ok cool, thanks for that i'll check them out. They're a really odd size i think that's the problem! the fronts are 175,55,17! only the Brdgestone RE040's fit. but i'll have a look at those websites and hopefully save a few quid! smile

Another shout for Camskill. Always found them to be cheapest with good service.

£148 on Camskill. £140 each on TyreTraders.

That's a lot for 17" tyres!

Yeah tell me about it... frown they're going to have to wait as i cant afford that! The wheels are a stupid size, i think it's only the VX's that uses them! might have tot get some new wheels in the future.

195/40's i believe, kumho ecsta's about 60-70 each will do the job just fine once they are fitted (a little tricky)
