My local tyre specialist Event Tyres is doing a full set of MPS2 N2's for my car (235/35/19 & 305/30/19) for £1,001.40 (inclusive of mobile fitting and VAT) plus a £50 fuel voucher from Michelin! eek I paid a lot more than that for a set on my last car, only earlier this year ....

Mind you the MPSS have gone up by almost the same margin ....

Got mine done for £890 (but no fuel voucher!) at Costco, and very happy with the service I must say. And very happy with the tyres too - better than the RE050s I had before - more compliant and quieter.

Yup - these guys would do your size (assuming you have the 19's) for £925.80 plus give you the £50 fuel voucher.

The MPS is a much better tyre than the RE050! I got rid of the RE050's on my C2S, only to buy a GT3 with a nearly new set of Bridgestones on it, so I can't justify getting rid of them! frown

That's a cracking deal then. Costco had to wait a few weeks to get the PS2s into stock - they had to be ordered from France. Perhaps the lower price is a reflection of a better exchange rate? (I've not been watching the rates, so no idea if that's the case I might add).

ETA - and glad I'm not imagining it with the PS2s - instantly noticed an improvement in ride and NVH - though haven't been able to press on much since having them fitted, so not sure how they'll feel nearer the limit.

I put some new PS2s on the front of my turbo on Tuesday - I was genuinely surprised at the cost. Only £318 fitted, which seemed like a bargain. I expected them to be more - when I got rears at the end of last year, I remember thinking they were much more than I expected and that the price seemed to have shot up.

I noticed on Camskill the price for 265/35/19 PS2 N2 has dropped from around £280 to £230.

I hope they don't replace them as I will need to replace the rears way before the fronts and would like them to match!

Maybe worth buying a pair to put in the garage.

£318 for a pair of fronts sounds like a bargain ... eek
