New tyres fitted

[Don Madge]

I've just replaced the Goodyear Cargos G26 205/70 106/104R on my four year old Timberland Ducato with the same make so they match the unused spare.

 

I'd done 46,300 miles on them and there was still a fair bit of tread left on them. I paid £340 for the four tyres from a local private tyre fitter.

 

They checked out the brake pads and there is still plenty of life on them yet.

 

If anyone is interested I run with 56psi front and 62psi rear.

Hello Don,

 

Hope the spare has been checked within age range and for condition, unused tyres can deteriorate quicker than those being used.

 

£340 for four Cargo G26 supplied, fitted and rebalanced is about average price.

 

Regards,

 

Mike.

I knoes you are rich don, but a private tyre fitter?? indeed.

 

Any chance he (or is it her) could fit for the rest of the forum, or does you keep it to yerself.

 

does you pay extra for the fiter to come to you, or is he (her) an employee??

 

dont keep it a secret don

Mike,

 

Thanks, the spare was checked and is OK. I used my local tyre dealer for convenience rather than economy, their prices are usually competitive.

 

Fred,

 

Sorry to disappoint you but it should have read independent rather than private, I'm still suffering the after effects of our trip to China.

 

I'm not rich, it's just that everybody else is poor :-D :-D :-D
