Tyres for Berlingo?

[suzialwaysbroke]

We need 2 new tyres for our Berlingo van. Have been quoted £194.50 from Nat tyres inc vat, valves, fitting, balancing, tracking & weel alignment. Does this sound reasonable to you?

Cheers,

No. It sounds outrageous. What sort of tyres are they?

Assuming they are 175/65 T 14s then blackcircles has them at about £40 - £60 each fitted for decent makes (Pirelli, Bridgestone etc).

Even the most expensive Michelins are £87 each

Wait a minute here.

I used to have a Berlingo van,and if you use it for business,and have an accident with standard car tyres on,you may get into all sorts of trouble with the insurance company.

I thought about doing the same when I had mine,but was advised to put proper commercial tyres on it,and I think I paid about £75ish a tyre for the fronts.

any van tyres ive ever had have been cheaper than my cars tyres.
just make sure the load rating and speed rating are the same.
