New Tires

    Hi All,

    Apologies if this is a silly/mundane/repetitive question, but I wouldn't have the best knowledge when it comes to this, and only a car owner for a few months now. Looking to replace two tires on my car, and was just wondering what price I should look to be paying? Own a 2006 Seat Ibiza, and after a quick look I can see that I can pick up two tires for around 40e each (quick search on Oponeo says tires are 165/70 R14). Obviously this is without fitting it. So I was just wondering what price people usually pay for two tires (new or used) to be bought & fitted. Thanks in advance!

    They are small wheels, so you should be looking at about €60-€70 per wheel for something that won't leave you wishing you had spent more on the only things keeping you on the road.

    It is usually a good idea to make sure that you are changing the two front tyres, or the two back tyres at the same time and not to fit different types of tyres on different corners of the car.

    Look for a good quality tyre
    a lot of cheap tyres are called ditch finders for a very good reason.

    Most tyres are ok in dry but wet road the cheaper tyres don't grip at all.
