...and you can get the Diamaris (just as ane xample) at 218 inc vat fitted at Blackcircles, maybe there are even better deals. Just a thought - might not be the size yu want either - this price was for 19 255/50.

Yeah the rears are 285/45/19 which cost £240 from said place so still a huge difference in price compared to mine.Awsome prices for diamaris them mind :o most i have seen were around the £250-£300 mark :roll:

new boots and tyre update!

I replaced my rears with Diamaris last January at a cost of £630! To my surprise, they need replacing again!! I have not even done 10k in them... Not sure what has caused it but the centers are nearly on the indicators and the edges (inside and outside) are about 4-5mm.

I might look at replacing all four and go for Toyo or something now?

Overtime here we go!

My 17" wheelbarrow wheels are getting a nice 48k out of the first set of Michelens. The replacement (current wheels) were about just over £100 each.

Small size matters :D

I thought that centre wear was caused by over inflation.10k :o that's shocking especially at those prices :roll:

On Diamaris rears for the 20 315s, I seem to remember a number of comments on the old site commenting on premature wear in the centre and someone suggesting they felt it was a design flaw.
I had no problems with them on 19s in my old diesel (45k from new) but am waiting for stock of Vredestein Sessanta for replacement rears for my 4.8iS.I have them on the front and have been impressed.
