Price of tyres depend on what make you get and how much your willing to pay

So hold on the ones your looking on buying have Centre Caps? if thats the case then there not 180 alloys there the 307 Challengers and can buy a set for around £150 with tyres if you look!!
Isnt so much a blanker but what im in the progress of doing is taking the lion and flushing the centre cap to make it look like a 180Alloy without the Lion

Jefferies tyres do Yokohama Parada Spec 2 205/40 R17 tyres for £242 fitted. But buy the tyres and pay to have them done elsewhere.

Just phone around your local tyre companies.
Obviously, part worn tires are going to be cheaper than brand new, and there is nothing wrong with Part Worns. My local tire place does that size for £40 fitted each. (part worns, I dread to think the cost of brand new)
There isn't a lot of point aking on here, as I doubt anyone is a tire fitter in Bristol.
I have the same alloys on mine 205/40/17. Tire prices aren't too bad on them.
