Default Michelin tyres wanted....195 60 15

Hi, the v40 will be needing new tyres before next winter.

its got michelin energy savers on at the moment, and Im really impressed with the road holding etc so want to fit the same again.

Has anyone got some new/part worn (at least 6mm tread) that they are thinking of selling? (195 60 15)

if anyone is thinking of buying some flash wheels in the near future and has good michelin tyres on the standard ones let me know how much you want for them, (tyres and wheels) cheers

if no luck i will bite the bullet and buy 4 BRAND NEW ones later in the year.....oooooo need to lie down now thinking of how much they will cost.....

Can't help, but I've found Black Circles to be pretty good on prices at the moment:

195/60/15 88H £77.15ea fitted

195/60/15 88T £83.93ea Fitted

195/60/R15 88H Michelin Energy E3A £88.12ea Fitted

195/60/R15 88V £81.84ea Fitted

HTH, I don't think that it's too bad a bill really... although I think I'm going to get the Falken ZE912's for £67.58ea Fitted

thanks for that!! cant fault the michelins that are on at the mo, apart from they are getting bald. just checked today and 2 are about shot and the other 2 are not far behind. looks like the flexible friend will be getting dusted off soon. Tyres- the only things i cant get away from paying someone else to do!! thats what bugs me most...one day i shall own a tyre stool and balancer....

Make sure you get the correct speed rating; I know it's one of the things that some people skimp on, and will get a rating lower than they should do
