Tyre just keeps going flat

[JoeF]

any reason for this other then a slow slow slow puncture as it takes ages to go down once pumped up? when i got the service done they did say it needs changing as damage to inside wall...... just rang a few places and got a few quotes but what i wanna know is, does it matter what brand i get? he said nexen some midrange brand but ive never heard of them, the rest i.e kwik fit and others are wanting £75 and upwards for budget tyres

i paid £90 a tyre fitted for goodyear eagle F1's, 205/40/17... £75+ for budget tyres seems a little steep if you ask me!

 

[JoeF]

what places do them cause ive searched national tyres and quick fit and its either Admiral Brand £65 each or Michelin £114 each at kiwk fit and at other New Radial £68.50 Firestone SZ80 £99.50 and a few others

You can't go wrong with www.camskill.co.uk Just buy the tyre off them and get it fitted and balanced at a local tyre place. Fitting should cost you no more than £15.

I recently bought a set of toyo proxies from camskill for £220 and got them fitted for £30. Before that i rung round tyre places and was getting quotes of around £300 fully fitted!

i got mine from tyres direct uk, but they've only got 3 sites, all in the Bristol area

Most places should be able to order in tyres for you i'd have thought.. they had to order mine when i got mine done.

I'm quite happy with that tbh

 

[JoeF]

most ive just rang will need to order them in for me, what about AVON ZV3, thats what some site recommends lol

at present ive got Bridgestone Turanza ER30 on the front thats gone down

I'm quite happy with that tbh

lol, me too.. no point in you buying expensive tyres tho, you'll write the car off soon enough!

if uve still got problem. of u can take the wheel off.
Get a spray bottle and fill it with water..

check erverywhere on the tyre. The rim,tyre, valve etc

Should find it no time

i paid about £80 for 2 budgets and just got 2 part worn's budgets for £40 as am skinto t the moment

 

[PaulieB]

paid £90 for a bridgestone turanza from National, so £75 is steep. Surely you could get Toyo Proxies cheaper than £75! think if you get them shipped they are like £40 each, then pay £10 fitting when they arrive.

I had them nexen ones on my other car, were pretty good, loads of grip on them
