R888 prices in Kilmarnock

Post by woody » Tue Apr 07, 2009 3:10 pm

Just been to one of the local independents, Abbotsinch Tyres for a couple of tyres for the Pug and as they'd a couple of stacks of R888's sitting I got prices for Lotus sizes. They have an excellent local reputation and the prices seem quite reasonable:

S1 Front - £60
S1 Rear - £126

S2 Front - £92
S2 Rear - £130

All medium compound and all tyres are PLUS fitting, balancing etc.. at £3 per wheel plus VAT.

FWIW, I get all my tyres put on at Abbotsinch if I can't get to Ronnie. R888s for me next time, methinks :thumbsup

Its hard to understand the price differential on the R's for an S1. Over double the price for the rears.

195/50 15 has always been a cheap size for tyres, it was a pretty common size a few years ago.

Excluding, so S1 fronts are £72.45 all in for example.
