BMW X5 tyre cost

Tosquito

Hi. Newbie post re rear tyre for BMW X5.
Need a replacement quick and cheap.
Anyone know who might be able to come out and sort me out with one today.
Local garage says, none in stock till Monday. Any help would be great. Thanks.

Stock is going to be the most important factor on this one. Get the Yellow Pages out and do some ringing around ;-)

Yep I agree. My local can't get one for me till Monday.
Still looking right now. No joy yet, but thank you for the replies.
Times like this I feel I should have bought something with less expensive parts. Cheers!

X5 and cheap?

The only thing in contact with the road and you want to run one on cheap rubber.

I actually said I wanted to get this sorted before Monday, ie: quick and cheap.

I didn't say I was going to run my X5 on cheap tyres. I mean't I wanted someone to sort me out today with a replacement tyre for a fair price.
I was quoted £241, which is fine, but its not going to be in stock till Monday.
I wouldn't mind if I had to pay more to get it done sooner IYSWIM. I can't tell if you are being helpful or not.
I am a newbie here. Got shot down in flames last night and now this.
Why do I bother. Thanks to everyone else for your help.
At least the person from last night was polite enough to rethink and say they had been a little tetchy. Some people do have manners.

Money saving tip for you.

Don't try and run a car you can't afford.:rotfl:

It's sometimes difficult to understand when someones having a dig or when they're just having a laugh on the net so don't get too wound up. It's usually the second... Most are pretty good on MSE.

Now you've got your tire size just ring all those on google in your area - looking at your local garages and mobile fitters. Or if it comes to it you can buy it from one place and have another fit it...

Alternatively, hire a run around and get the new tire Monday if getting one today is going to cost loads more...

Yeah CHEAP.:rotfl:

Car starts a 40K list price (without any extra's and who'd buy one without leather.:rolleyes: Bet the OP has:p)

And he wants CHEAP tyres.

A mate of mine has a 645i and had to wait a week until he had the money to change a tire so he could carry on driving it! :rotfl:
