Hi guys,

There seems to be a big variation in prices on new and second-hand Run Flats for the Cooper/Cooper S.

Are there any "gems" of places worth looking at when buying a new tyre?

I do not fancy paying £180+ for one tyre from the dealer (SP01)...

Tyres

Hi

Ordered SP1 this morning - £152 all in from local tyre centre. Kwikfit are cheap if you book on line but have a 3 day lead time. I'm gutted because I got a puncture in a 4 week old tyre - it still has the green "newness" bands showing. Such is life.

Find or phone around a few good local independent tyre fitting companies and you will get a much more competitive quote than from any of the big national chains like Kwik-Fit, etc, plus a better personal service.
