Zafira car tyres?

Jelly*baby

Hi i think i have to have 2 new tyres (going down tommorow) poss 3 and wondered what everyone else would go for?

Normally i just go to the garage and get whatever! but seeing as i may need 3 i may get 4 new ones and have done with it.

just been on kwik fit for a quick look and its a minefield! no idea what sort to get and what the difference would mean for me? does it matter a lot?

I do local driving and an occasional long trip.

the car is a Zafira 1.9 cdti SRI

Thanks

I wouldn't use Kwik Fit personally, but looking at the site I'd go for the cheapest named brand e.g. Goodyear Efficient Grip £75.30 each.

You can haggle with them you know - say you only need 3 but can they do all 4 for £250.

Just make sure they don't give the old "you need new brake pads and discs" trick.

Prices at Kwik Fit are always negotiable.

Get a quote for a common mid-range tyre from an online site such as blackcircles.com and use it to haggle.

Or just goto a local tyre shop and get decent tyres at a dcent price?

i found that tesco are quite a good price and you choose where to have them fitted. they were doing pirellis for my zaf for around 240 for 4 but mine are 16" . are yours 17" because its an sri.

I've gone for Continental Premium Contact 2's on our Zaffy. Very good all rounders. Decent grip on dry/wet/snow, not too noisy, good efficiency and have lasted very well. Fronts went on around 10-15k miles ago and still in good nick. About £60-70 a corner depending on where you go. So not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for. Think your later Zaffy has slightly different sizes though, so may vary a bit.

I often buy through BlackCircles, who deliver to a local garage for fitting. Usually have some discount codes about, so have a hunt around.
