From: Carl Gibbs on 5 Sep 2007 18:18 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!!)

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. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' www.italiancar.co.uk - Honda VFR800 - Hongdou GY200 - Alfa 75 TSpark Alfa 156 TSpark - B6 Passat 2.0TDI SE - COSOC KOTL BOTAFOT #87 - BOTAFOF #18 - MRO # - UKRMSBC #7 - Apostle #2 - YTC # |
