Need to buy 2 front tires for my E53. Size is 255/50R19

Pls let me know if you have, or if you know of any good deals.

Prefer branded, not too fussed though..

Thx

Ebay??? Bought several used tyres from there and always worked out good.

thought about that, naah, too scared, after all its tyres so safety is important.

i'm thinking of getting yokohama advan st? i can get them delivered and fitted for £314. either through blackcircles.com or formula 1 auto centres.

that's the cheapest decently branded tyre i could find..

for a car that has done just 4.5k miles over the last year i can't seem to make up my mind to spend on michelins? .. (although anyone can quickly point out that any one of those 4.5k miles would be enough to have an accident!)

tbh part worns off ebay arnt worth it by the time you pay postage and fitting etc, they have to be mega cheap, i normally sell all my used ones on ebay and usally get about 75% of what the new tyres cost by changing them while the old ones have around 3mm left!

Sounds like you are paying too much on Ebay, I have bought some there both brand new Dunlops at over £100 less each per tyre and some Bridgestone rears with 7mm of tread at a third of their new cost.

I might be a bit late to the show, but...
I like my Toyo Proxes and have just spotted this site:

I haven't used that site before but I would be tempted when my tyres need replacing.
