Anyone know a place that sells reasonably priced metric tyres?

A mate from work has recently bought a Citroen CX with the metric sized
alloys. Current quotes are around the �180 per tyre mark!!! A quick google
suggests he needs 190/65 HR 390 TRX

Any help appreciated (apart from selling the car of course!!)

Cheers

IIRC Colway do them, they're a pretty good copy of the old Avon Turbospeeds
so just about perfect for the CX.

I had some good ones on my old 2.8injection Granada, but I can't remember
what make they were.

Don't know if they still list them, but remind me next week when I'm
back in work, when I have my Tyremonkey head back on.

I'll ring Tom and Adam at the factory and see if they do them.

A set of 15"s and a sharp knife.

You'll probably find that a full set of wheels and tyres in a proper
size are cheaper than 4 metric tyres.

That was certainly the case why my brother bought an E34 on TRX wheels.
