You may be right mate - there are a good few variations of the Potenza on there........Check with My Tyres before ordering!!

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

That's how much I paid at Bracknell Tyres a few weeks ago

[Ratspants]

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

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

[pcmanning]

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!

[Crimson_Killa]

I think this is good may be wrong though

Protyre - Wetbury (local company i think)

Toyo R1s Rears 225/45/R17 - Pair £195 fitted balenced etc

[CocoPops]

Better off sticking to the Bridgestones all round tho tbh mate, try to avoid mixing brands/compounds

[Crimson_Killa]

Ah kk i havent bought them yet thought i needed to change but a quick depth check showed i had 4mm tred left

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.

[Scottieb]

Camskill: 175/55R17 BST RE040BZ 81W = £103 each inc vat and postage 225/45R17 BST RE040BZVX 90WCFE = £101 each inc vat and delivery

[SAPD]

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

I've been informed that they're making £1 on each tyre... 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?
