Best place to buy Michelins at the moment?

[David M]

I am about the replace all tyres and have a full geometry check. I am awaiting for a trade price from my local (friendly) Jagaur dealer who will fit and balance them for me FOC but in the meantime want a good on-line quote to compare the tyre price against.

I can get the fronts (225/40/18) for £130 and the rears for £230 (295/30/18) from Mytyres.

So does anyone have any recommendations for the best place to buy at the moment. I will probably replace with the same Michelin Pilot Sports (I see that there are now N1, N2, N3, Porsche fitment and even extra load - what do all these mean?).

Thanks

Try www.blackcircles.com - that should give you the info to work out the best compromise between cost and convenience.
Micheldever Tyres are well worth talking to as well.

David check these out http://www.pneus-online.co.uk/porsche-tyres-advice.html they were competitive for my front Bridgestone and there is an optional flat tyre insurance at £4/wheel. The merits of this insurance, including an extract of the T&Cs have been discussed on the 997 forum recently see: http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/tm.asp?m=282826&mpage=2&key=
