Finally measured the rear tyre tread on the Panda yesterday and they were 1.1mm, well apart from the inside edges which were slick

Couldn't find anything cheaper than £50 a corner on the Interweb Thingy so on the way back from Birmingham this afternoon called into Supertyres in Luton

Negotiated four Marshall 175-65 R14's for £40 each and lazer steering tracking for £20, total cost all in with valves, balancing, tracking and disposal ( a lot of companies add £10/£15 per tyre for disposal ) was £180

I'm lot happier with a good set of tyres now that winter is coming

You can't have been trying very hard:

Trayal T 400
Made in Europe with french technology

175/65 R14 82T
only £ 31.90

That's from mytyres.co.uk

So depends what you have to pay to fit, but I have paid £7 a corner in the past at a cheap tyre place...

Sorry I forgot to mention that I excluded anything called The WingHock Bargain Super Magic Discount tyre etc

I always remember Marshall as being know as a remould company years ago, but they are middle market now
