Bridgestone Potenzas(Fronts) - £120.90 per tyre, fitted.

Black Circles -
Bridgestone Potenzas(Rears) - £149.46 per tyre, fitted.
Bridgestone Potenzas(Fronts) - £135.57 per tyre, fitted.

Kind David Tyres(Rogerstone, S.Wales) -
Bridgestone Potenzas(Rears) - £145.84 per tyre, fitted.

My Tyres -
Bridgestone Potenzas(Rears) - £100.00 per tyre, delivered.
Bridgestone Potenzas(Fronts) - £99.50 per tyre, delivered.

Feel free to add to the list as im sure it will help other people who are looking for the best deal thumbsup

Got rears from TMS at something like £120 fitted (don't quote me on that, I'd need to check the receipt). Needless to say they were 100% the correct specification of tyre and not the pot-luck of high street/online tyre places. Ben

Can you also add to the list the EXACT tyre that you got?

Are they different in any way to:

Fronts - RE040BZ 175/55 R17 - 81W
Rears - RE040BZ 225/45 R17 - 90W

I'm not going to start on whether or not variations on this specification are in anyway "wrong", but it is useful to compare like-for-like.

I paid £380.58 fitted yesterday for Bridgestones all round at Bracknell Tyres. They were: Fronts - RE040BZ 175/55 R17 - 81W Rears - RE040BZ 225/45 R17 - 90W Can't give you the individual price for fronts v rears as not got the receipt with me, just the card receipt. Thought the price was good though thumbsup

Just got a really good deal on tyres for my M5 from Kerbside Tyres in Cranleigh. Might be worth checking them out for a price (01483 274005). Disclaimer: I'm not connected to Kerbside tyres in any way

Harris Brothers (Swansea) £190 for two rears - RE040BZ 225/45 R17 - 91W DOT CFE

Always used them and they are helpful guys - took him a while to find the jacking points on mine though!

Turner Brothers in Holmfirth, nr. Huddersfield, W Yorkshire will supply the correct Bridgestone tyres if specifically asked for. A bit dear compared to some of the others listed though. £109 per tyre.

Bracknell tyres: £97.50 (fitted inc VAT) per rear

I've been informed that they're making £1 on each tyre... :blink: so I can't imagine anywhere would be cheaper

Mytyres were unable to supply fronts for me, although stating otherwise until challenged about the wait. :(
Don't know about rears? :unsure:
