Good price for Bridgestones ?

Post by prezjamin »

Got quoted £117 (each) including balancing and fitting for Bridgestons S03's from my local tyre dealer. Is this a good price ? The size is 225/45/R16

Make sure you get a good laser alignment done too to maximse grip and tyre life :-)

It costs £50 but when tyres last twice as long and grip better its worth it - the first set of rears on my Turbo years back only lasted 4,500 miles of 'normal' driving - when the alignment was checked it was well out of spec.
