Damn My Tyres Are Expensive
So I'm sure you guys know I got myself a Honda Ballade about two months ago. Love the car.
Last week though I decided to drive up a pavement and pop my tyre. Not repairable as it's at the wall.
My tyres are 185 55 16 Good Year Excellence. Honda just quoted me R2076
Anyone know of where I can get it cheaper?

Erm surely you can get a tyre from Super Quick for less than half that price. Unless I am missing something a 16" Hancook / Dunlop shouldn't be more than R800 - R1000.
Not even the Hancooks on my Audi A4 cost near that.
Sounds like Honda are taking the pi$$.
R 685 from Goodhope tyres. Unfortunately in Cape Town
If you are in the Randburg area, go to Jody's tyres on Braam Fisher. Excellent service and I doub't you will pay more than R1k for tyre and fitment.
2k for one tyre?
lol the front tyre on my 96 ZZR 400 costs R3200

Why would you buy tyres from a car dealer?
It's an uncommon size. 185 55 16
No one else has that specific tyre. Of course I want a decent tyre as well.
Bridgstone ER370 was my second choice at about R1700.
Look I can get cheaper tyres. But want something decent.
Even a decent tyre shouldn't be costing you R2k.
Ok.... My last set of tyres were 900ea and that's 17" michelin pilot sport 3's:

I have 275/35/19. Need two back tyres so called around today. Hancook don't make my size so having to look at Michelin (which I currently have). R5,149 per tyre.
Ye dude... Over the years I have hit two potholes and each time lost two tyres. Insurance paid out so I just needed to pay excess. This is the first time I am having to pay full price.
Which makes me think.... Yours is accident damage. See if you can claim back from your insurance?
