Post by Manfromatlantis » Sat Mar 02, 2013 9:02 pm

Hi I'm after getting hold of ...

Some continental cross contacts

335/25/22 x2 , and 295/30/22 x2

Cheapest I've found so far fr them is ATS £ 1354 !

Any know of anywhere else or other tyre brands that may ave these sizes ?

Cheers  :)

I have always found Camskill Tyres to be great on price, might be worth ringing them?

Try a search under that pair of sizes on Google.

There are a few brands available, but they're more expensive than the Contis.  Pirellis are one choice.

In the past I have taken online quotes up to my local tyre place [Selectatyre] and they have bettered the price, and included free fitting and gas inflation.  Worth a punt with a local firm just on the off chance?  You still have to get them fitted and not many places have the gear for 22" wheels (plus they might not be as gentle on those bought elsewhere!)
