Hi, anyone replaced their tyres recently?
I have 215 45 R16 H on my Mk.5 Ibiza & was wondering what sort of prices people have paid?
Online search on places like Kwik Fit & Halfords are showing a cheapest price of over £100 for each tyre, seems kind of expensive.

Any suggestions?

black circles, ats euromaster, wont get much cheaper than those places, they're a quite random tyre size, not many budget ones available.

Dreading when it comes to changing mine!

I checked tyre prices before we bought our ST Sport. I found the best deals I could find at the time made the tyres for the standard 16" wheels far more expensive than those for the 17" wheels.

Thanks for your replies. Looks like I'll have to spend about £100 per tyre!!!!

I wouldn't have paid the extra for the upgrade to 17" wheels but I didn't have the choice. All cars available at the time that had the options that we did want also had 17" wheels. But It softened the blow when I found that replacing the tyres will be cheaper.

The last tyres I bought (not for the Ibiza, it's only done 5k) were from the RAC. Buy them online and they're sent to your local fitter. They have tyres in the budget range for the 17" wheels but not for the 16" wheels. It looks like about £100 for a Pirelli is the cheapest on the 16" wheels.

I changed mine at 15K C&S Tyres in Middlesbrough did the two front for just under £200 fitted, odd size though they even checked it was correct.
