Best Price Tyres M3P+

[pow216]

Driving back from work in the dark last week - bang, bang, both near side wheels hit what I later saw in the light was a rather large pothole. Front has needed inflating once, rear is losing >5 psi a day.

I usually mail order tyres and get them fitted locally. I’ve seen non acoustic lined for £160 and the acoustic liner ones for £200.

Any thoughts?

I’d get the same ones you’ve already got and match them front or rear. It’s an expensive car, so saving £80 doesn’t seem worth it.

These tyres are a bargain imo - £200 or so for the best tyre on the market, in 20" size - I assumed they would be £300+

Word of caution if mail order - check the manufacture date. Week/Year stamped on tyre wall.

Me too, unless local guy can get them for not-much-more.

I've used and been happy with https://www.camskill.co.uk/

Gives you a sick feeling when that happens. Check the sidewalls on inside and outside as that is frequently where the damage is after a pothole incident. If there's sidewall damage then best not to drive or only very very low speed driving until they are fixed. Fingers crossed that the wheels haven't been knocked out of round or a lip on the edge allowing air out. It often doesn't take much to deform an alloy wheel.

Probably worth getting the alloys checked incase its damaged somewhere

Check Costco out, they were £180ish fitted for acoustic when I asked a while ago and they sometimes have offers like £100 of 4 plus if you would use them for other things they offer a premium membership which offers 2% back at the end of the year

Oponeo.co.uk in the end. £200 with free shipping. Thats for the acoustic one.

Oponeo.co.uk just delivered - standard Pilot Sport 4S, no foam and B rated grip instead of A rated Grrrrrrrrr
Might have to try Camskill.

Send the invoice for replacements to the Local Authority or the Road Authority and try for a claim off them - nothing lost!

I didn't need tyres after all

Are these fixable?

 

[JCremonini]

As long as they are not cracked then they can be knocked back into shape.

Rather you than me ....

I’ve had marginally worse fixed, more than once. Last but one car has semi-solid forged alloy wheels which were very light but buckled if you traveled in the same county as a pothole.

Wonder how much they cost to fix and whether the integrity of the wheel will still be intact
