Cheap tyres from Mercedes... what

[pembssurf]

well got the w204 C250 booked into dealer tomorrow for some warranty work replacing steering rack and enquirer about tyres on the off chance and they can replace my Kumho ecstasy on the front with new ones for £67 inc vat per corner all in. That’s £30 cheaper than black circles. To say I’m surprised is an understatement! Anyone else come Across main dealer random pricing?

My dealer was always very competitive on tyre pricing, replaced those on my S203 cheaper than local tyre shops and they actually fitted them themselves, didn't farm the job out.

That is a good price, I paid £88.00 each for the same tyre last week.

 

[pembssurf]

I never even thought about trying main dealer for tyres but pleasantly surprised!

 

[Stratman]

Let me guess; valves are £99.99 each

The new tyres will need coding on STAR...

Just shows if you do not ask you will never get anything,I must admit I would never have asked about tyres at a MB dealership,well done.

Hope it works out but that seems an unlikely difference - they'll either be a different tyre, they've got the size wrong, or it's just a plain price mistake.

The only time my dealer ever quoted me for tyres - a pair of rears - I thought "hmm, that's not bad". Then they said "each"! I forget the make but it wasn't a premium one. When I told them how much Michelin's were at Costco they said their cost price was higher.

Alot of people also forget to switch to winter air when the temp drops

Well even if it a mistake they have sent me an estimate via the starview link with the health check and it states the same price there so Il be only paying that, mistake or not. They are only kumhos though. Incidentally I asked about OEM continentals and they want wanted £93 per corner which is still over £25 per corner cheaper than black circles.

Picked up the car and confirm no mistake in price not only were the tyres £67 per corner including the VAT there was also free front alignment (when you buy 2 or more tyres).

Happy days!!!!

Great price and alignment - wow!

 

[CarlPea]

Which model tyre are they? You can get them from £50 a tyre, depending on the model. Plus fitting, so still a good price, with alignment as well!

Kumho ecstasy

Sounds like something on the menu at a massage parlour in the far east.

 

[pembssurf]

I can confirm that is not on the menu on massage parlours in the Far East. Dealership is Sinclair in South WaleS!
