I'm looking for Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's in 225/40/18 fitment

The cheapest I have found are £100 each from camskill, so that's £206 for the pair including delivery.

Anyone know a place that can beat that???

If you buy from Camskill, who do you get to fit them? The local tyre place near my parents were always cool with doing it, but these days most places seem to be a bit narky if you turn up with your own asking for fitting.

Stuff them. Still getting a sale in the end of the day charging you to fit the tyres. I always used to take parts and tyres to my mates garage and he didnt mind.

Think I need to phone my local tyre places and see what they charge for fitting. The Pilot Sports I want are £100 each on Tyre Factors or £200 each from other places!

Might have found 2 brand new ones in a private sale for £170. Just waiting to see what the ratings are as they're 2 types.

I can get them fitted locally for a tenner a wheel

Are they definitely the right ones? There seemed to be a lot of confusion over the N rated ones, although there shouldn't really be.

They're N3's which is nice - not that it matters much as the car is no longer covered by a Porsche warranty. Black Circles do them for £150 and Camskill want £115 so the Tyre Factors price seems legit.

Just noticed that the Tyre Factors price is ex VAT which will bump up the price a bit.

Absolutely hate runflats. Really loud and very harsh ride. Not saying all will be the same mind you.

Just bought the standard ones. Reading loads of reviews and most change the run flats due to the above reasons.

True. Runflats are standard on z4's an ruin the ride according to everyone on the forum.

Mine had already been changed and I had eagle f1's on the fronts which gave immense turn in grip.
