Tyres for 530i

Any advice on tyre prices for my BMW 530i.

I need to renew the front tyres on my BMW, i got a quote of £145.00 inc vat and balancing.

Is this reasonable or am i paying over the top.

The reason i noticed the tyre was low on the inner was that i had a rummble from the front passenger side, first thoughts was that the wheel bearing may be worn, took it into a local garage, they had a look over it and told me the bearings were fine but that the tyre was very worn, get that changed, do the tracking and hopefully that will cure the rummble.

If anyone can advise me more, i would really appreciate it.

Colt.

What size tyres you got mate?

Also, what brand of tyre did you get a qoute for?

Front 235 40 18
Rear 265 35 18
Dunlop sport

Only got the price for the front at £145.00 ish, give or take a pound, inc vat and balancing.

£145 ish all in for 2 dunlop sport....including fitting and balancing??


...............that's a good price indeed.

Unfortunately that was for each tyre, £145.00 all in.

Does that sound reasonable to you ?

Hmmmm.

Who gave you the quote mate.

We got a set of 4 x Federal's 18's, for a 330i, balanced and fitted..............£400 all in.

Local garage,

Unfortunately i have to get the tyre done in the morning, need the car for work.

I wanted to keep the same tyres all round, Dunlop's

Might have to swallow this one.

Any thoughts about the rummbling ?

Rumbling??

Need to check and double check the suspension at the front. Check the lower ball joints, suspension arm bushes.

These are indeed a week point on those beemers.............get a proper alignment centre to check it out. Otherwise your new tyres may well get eaten well before their time mate.

Thanks for the advice mate.

I'll get the tracking done when the tyres fitted.

I'll look into the lower suspension though.

Cheers.
