going to france for holiday and tyres require replacing
internet site in gb suggests a cost of £225 each for replacing the tyres all in
internet site in france suggests a cost of £97 each for the same brand/size (fitting/balance/valve ??)
have sourced Speedy and Euromaster as outlets are there any other tyre outlets particularly in the quimper/brest area ?
I appreciate that retail they won't be £97 but they do appear considerably cheaper than here.

I did same, once, on a visit to parents (who lived in Switzerland at the time). I stopped en route and had all four tyres on my Camaro replaced and saved about 400 quid.
I recently sent 4 Goodyear Eagle F1 EMT's over to England for a friend, who runs a (dare I say it) C5 - and even including shipping (UPS) and duty, saved 150 pounds per corner.
I've also just re-booted my car with Eagle F1 GS D3's - which are absolutely fantastic tyres, at a cost of $950 (about 425 quid). I believe they cost 375 pounds each in England!
Send me your orders!!!

Hi all !
How could tyres be more expensive in England than in France ??? :o ;D
I know a very good website selling tyres online :
http://www.mytyres.co.uk/
This is the UK part of a European website selling tyres at very low price... I've already ordered Bridgestone SO2 and SO3 for my 911, the price for 4 tyres is almost 250 euros less than in any tyre shop in France...
Hope you'll find what you need ! :)
Truffette : o)

Yes, I've used MyTyres for Pirellis for the cob. Very efficient and an extremely competetive price.
The tyres were with me within a week.
