Tyre Prices ...

#1

Post by BushWacker »

FYI ...

I need to replace a tyre and checked
prices out yesterday ...
For a single GYWrangler 235/85/R16 ATS

Kwik Fit ~ R2500+
Minty. ~ R1900+

Most shops around R2100-R2200 +
so theres a fair spread.
Im paying R2000+ wrt delivery time,
service, convenience etc

According to Super quick etc
their screens show available stock
of that size in SA branches at 20 !
They deem the size unusual , uncommon ...

I like to use Errols Tyres as a reference.

Your size doesn't sound like a popular tyre to be honest.

I stopped using TWAT long ago as their pricing is always the most expensive. I'm not sure how they are still operating.

Bought my tyre from SuperQuick
and date mark on tyre said 2619...
... and even Manny :lol: knows thats :
the 26th week of 2019 ...
... so not too long on the shelf.

Errols quote the tyre at about R1800+
... not sure if that includes courier charges
and it excludes fitment, balancing etc.

Ge’off, not everyone in the world is as tightass as you are, hence they continue to use large fancy workshops like TWT
Flex is overrated
