Tyres

Just checked and there is a branch at Avonmouth and coincidentally I'm going past there tomorrow. However, you need to pay to be a member and although they list the front size of Michelin they don't have the rears, so not really an option.
 
Okay, these prices are supply only from Tyreleader, although Oponeo are pretty much the same. Cheapest for 4 suitable 225/35/19 and 255/30/19 decent make are Kumho's at £400, Falken £425, Vred £450, Dunlop £535, Goodyear £565 and finally PS4's at £660.

Are the Michelins really worth the extra over the 3 cheaper ones, seeing as they've all been recommended on here? I think I'd have them over the last 2, but an extra £65 a corner over the Kumho's I think may be a tad extravagant. I can spend that on getting my van reshod which TBH is more pressing.

Of course there's fitting to be added but if my local place can get them I think I'll plump for either the first 2 unless I hear of a reasonable argument for any of the others.

Thanks guys
 
Ref Costco, they had to order mine in ( also Avonmouth) but did not take long, Provided you pay befor the end of the offer they will supply at the offer price. You dont even need to have all four fitted at once. You can stagger fitment.

Note They cannot jack up a Z4 - the ramp doesnt go under.
They are quite strict on fitting but look after alloy wheels and use stick on weights only.
I had 3 sets from them over the last few years, 2 x Z4 and my X5
Worth paying the membership - their batteries are very competitive as well - but they dont fir them

Of your above choices i would say the Vreds are worth the extra over the Kumhos & Falkens , you might also want to consider 245 35 19 on the rears for added comfort & extra wheel protection for no extra cost (sometimes less )

The website is a bit pants, basically if the three brands they supply (Goodyear, Bridgestone or Michelin) do it they can get it and have it on their system for pricing etc. Good example of this was the Michelin PS4 fronts in 225 40 18 I needed were on the website but the rears 255 35 18 weren't showing on the website. Quick phone call to Manchester Costco and it was "Yes we do them, we have them in stock if you want to bring your car down and leave it with us we'll do it today." Can't fault them really. With the current offer the Michelin PS4's were about £10 cheaper than the GY F1 AS5's they also quoted me on
