WTF is it with your car? No one has that many punctures. Sounds like cheap tyres worn down to the steel belts and then the steel belts sold for scrap. rubschin:

No bargain bins yeah

For the first time in 100,000 miles on this car, I've taken a pair of front tyres right through to "worn out" state (~25,000 miles)

£323 to replace them   cry:      Probably get a screw through them in their first week
Well, whatever, nevermind

They saw you coming, I only pay £280 for a pair on a Ranger Rover.

Have you considered investing in turnip futures?
I am sure BM will confirm they are a great place for your money.  :thumbsup:

Yes I can get Pirelli Range Rover tyres for £255 a pair off Kwik Fit but a 60 profile tyre won't fit my car.  Needs to be 45 profile and W speed spec.    My garage is cheaper than Kwik Fit and it's the proper Bridgestone spec tyre. 

Turnip futures?  I predict a boost in demand around Burns night

Well, whatever, nevermind
