FF1600 Avon tyres

MarkG · 23 Feb 2005, 20:47 (Ref:1233851)

may seem a daft question.. Where does one order them from? Is there a best place to get them?

diz · 23 Feb 2005, 21:52 (Ref:1233918)

BMTR in Birmingham

Or from Avon Direct down Castle Combe way

Avon 01225 703101

BMTR 0121 3311122

I have tried to get tires direct from the factory near Milton Keens with no luck.
BMTR in Birmingham on 0121 3311122 is your best bet.
They often go to circuits with their lorry and will fit balance etc for you. Just need to find out where they will be.

They are at Coombe on the Sat16th April,if that helps.

MarkG · 7 Apr 2005, 20:48 (Ref:1272794)

thx Glen. Do they fit for free at the circuit?

GlenF · 7 Apr 2005, 21:04 (Ref:1272815)

Avon or BMTR are at various meetings and they do fit them for free, best to phone them first and also reserve a set or they may run out

Does not matter who you buy them off there is no difference in price, unfortunately!

But it could matter where you buy them. Try South Africa, where the Wiltshire UK made tyres are half the UK price.

Been down this road before.

It's like my mate who goes to Florida every year and he can get 4 cans of Boddingtons for less over there than he can over here in the same city where they are made. Madness.

And they wonder why Rover are going bump.............Made me laugh about the Government bailing them out when it's them that put them there in the first place with the high costs of production in the UK...

Sorry. Of thread, but ggrrrrrr......

Would you like the government to turn us into a third world country so that we can reduce the cost of our labour and overheads out of desperation so that we can carry on making cars?

JohnMiller · 8 Apr 2005, 12:12 (Ref:1273249)

get it right: "**** cars"

JustinDawkins · 8 Apr 2005, 12:13 (Ref:1273250)

lol thought your mate had one?

JohnMiller · 8 Apr 2005, 12:17 (Ref:1273254)

My next door neighbour has got one of the 75 Estate jobbies and I believe he likes it. Don't know anyone else with one - yes I do, somebody who told me she likes her 25!

JustinDawkins · 8 Apr 2005, 12:20 (Ref:1273257)

Well TF is a certainly quality product, and I believe Direct Vehicle Leasing (01905 797954) have them on offer for £129.99 inc VAT for personal and business users?

Sounds like an amazing deal to me, especially as the initial payment in only £1,000 and its an 18 month contract

JohnMiller · 8 Apr 2005, 12:21 (Ref:1273260)

Sounds very good value to me - is it not +vat for business users though? Still a good deal, as I say...

Are they exactly the same, code markings etc?

JustinDawkins · 8 Apr 2005, 13:59 (Ref:1273336)

John - yes thats right its + VAt for business users, so actually cheaper for an individual whcih is unsual!

BUT

All MG and Rover deals are pulled until further notice
