cheap spare tyres in norwich

daniel-2412

hi everyone, this is my first time posting in the motoring section so sorry if this info is somewhere else.

I am going on a trip to devon tomorrow and my tyre just blew, it isn't fixable, so i am looking for a cheap replacement until i get some more money together as all my money is in this trip. Obviously i want to be safe as i have a long journey but have very little funds readily available. so i was hoping if anyone knew of a good place to get a cheap spare or any discount codes i can use to bring the cost down on a tyre until i get paid again. it will need to be fitted. its for a 57 plate vw passat and the tyre says 235/45 R17 v xl on my tyre. thank you all for any help.

There's cheap rubbish sub £60ish, while stuff worth buying starts with the Riken or Nankang, and not going anywhere near the "Taurus" rubbish. Personally, I'd be putting the little extra in for the £78 Avon.

But none of those are fittable today. That's going to be your decider, if the trip can't be delayed... Who's got what in stock...

Lets hope you don't have another tyre problem whilst on your trip, what will you do then?

this is why i said i need a cheap option until i get paid. when i get paid i will look for a better tyre, i am looking for a cheap tyre i can use as a spare for the "just in case" situation.

Then phone round scrapyards.

There's a couple of garages I sometimes use you could try.  Melrose Garage just off Mile End road (off between Unthank Road and the roundabout on Newmarket Road) and Gilchrist Motors (down by B&Q on Hall Road). 

They're both independent "back street" garages and they always seem reasonable.  Ask if they can help.
