I need 2 new tyres for the car, prefereably before combe on the 24th of april, Im out of a job and could do with saving a few quid
been offered 2 conti sport contact 2`s with 6mm tread for £100 and I can get them fitted and ballanced for a pint
one has had a puntcure repair, £50 each for 17 inch rubber seems a good deal to me
thoughts?

i can get you some Duro Dp-8000's for £40+vat each? 
Or Federal SS-595's for £45+vat each
Or Avon ZZ3's for £62+vat each
All new from my suppliers too, its alright buying part worns but its a false economy, couple months down the line you'll be forking out again
