How much did you pay for Tyres today ?

[Andrew V9X]

Last week

4x General Grabber AT3 265/65/R17
R12 800 incl

Sorry to burst your bubble. I just had four of the exact size grabbers fitted for R11000 with alignment. What amazed me most after 70000 kms when I last had alignment done on my Navara and hitting many potholes it was still very close to correct, just a slight toe adjustment.

Bought a set of four BFG KO3 for R20,200 from Tyremart Silver Lakes on my Pajero Sport.

So far good. I will provide some feedback once I have done some decent mileage.

My Cerato has had BFG Advantage A/T Drive for 50k km and it's been the best passenger tyre I have bought. Almost indestructible, hit plenty of potholes and tyres survived them all, had to straighten a few mags, but tyres are perfectly fine.

Expecting the same level of performance and reliability from this set.

Prior set of Pirelli Scorpio AT+ served me well, about 85k km, with good tread wear, keeping one as an additional spare for Meob bay next year. Got the BFG as I like to try different things!

That is an excellent price. Going rate now is around R4k for a 255/55 R19. Where did you get it from?

A week or three late, but

General Grabbers at around R1900/tyre (BestDrive) as of 20 Dec 2024.
215/74R15

Remarkably, the quotes I got on the day, varied between R1900 and R2800 for the exact same tyre, so shop around.

[RoelfleRoux]

Goodyear Wranglers (265/60X18) x 4 for R12,080.00, including balance and fitment.
PS. At TyreMart in Nelspruit.

[Merwe Erasmus]

Four Goodyear Wranglers, 265/65/17, All Terrain Adventure, Kevlar reinforced, fitted, balanced and alligned for R 8100,00 at Good Hope Tyres in Brackenfell.

And, today, three and a half years later I paid R12 300.00 for the same items at 1st Alignment in Stikland. I did not shop around, our factory is just around the corner from them.

Assuming you where happy with your service from the first set - what mileage did you get from them?

How do you keep your wheels so clean?

How do you keep your wheels so clean?

Once in a while I get a bee in my bonnet and remove the wheels, give them a thorough scrub and at the same time it gives me access to clean inside the wheel arches and all the places that is then accessible.

I use a Motoquip brush during normal washes to reach the inside of the rims.

A good friend of mine always says, only a car with "clean feet" is properly washed

..

If you bought a new set of TYRES , please share how much you paid for what brand in what size..(..is that allowed?)


Can you maybe share your bargain or experience with the rest of us that is also in the process of snooping around for new tekkies/trappers for our beloved regop/plat kar..

Thanx2All

My suggestion is the most NB point is 1st to ascertain Suppliers recommendation to replace the tyres due to TIME (degrading of tyres, standing in the sun, etc.). Some are 5 years and some are 10 years (eg. Michelin). I had to discard 4x ~13 year old Michelins with ~20K Ks on, as well as a brand new Michelin spare wheel.

One has to balance the amount of Ks one will drive vs tyre expiry. The cheaper tyres with a 5 year expiry and giving less Ks could be financially less favourable in the long run.

Do your sums please. (an extra ~R1K/per tyre? could double your tyre's working life for you).

Very NB: You are driving with your life, as well as your family's life, on them 4x tyres - safety 1st!
