2 New tyres 215/35/18's 
1 new ball joint front offside
Tracking being done
And full timing belt / rollers etc if kit arrives in time...
 Never got a price My bro in law is the manager and usually does me a good deal but it's still going to be mega cash
Only putting on Hancook tyres on as they are dear enough and that what was on the wheels and they are not bad in in the dry and ok in the wet...

I put two new tyres on the VXR yesterday, 235/35/19's I put Falkens on it, suprisingly good. £220 for the pair.
Only... I get out the front this morning and there is a screw in the rear Continental  Don't want odd tyres on the rear so have to get another Conti, which is £180 quid

why not just replace both rears with Falkens then mate for an extra 40 quid you get another tyre

I have Ventus Prime (or something) on my Ibiza, they seem good to me. Have lasted a while and I live in Roundabout City.

Aye the Ventus have been not bad...
Cars ready going to pick it up at 4.30pm..
Add a Track rod end onto the list aswell but it's not getting done till tomorrow..
So todays bill will be
2 new 215/35/18 tyres
Front offside ball joint
Going back tomorrow to get track rod end and tracking and depending on the cost of all this the timing belt kit too but might not be able to afford to get that done aswell at moment

At that price you may aswell replace the pair so you have a full set of Falkans

I did think that Edward, but off to Nurburgring on Monday morning and it took mytyres a week to deliver the last two tyres so cannot leave it to chance.
Anyway, the rears aren't worn at all.

Ah, that's a bit of a wait...
Just reminded me that I need to swap the front and rear wheels over on the Punto as the fronts are getting a bit worn.......

Nope, its right on the edge of the tread. I went to all the tyre places to make sure they weren't trying to fob me off and they all said exactly the same that the tyre would need to be removed and sent off to be repaired.
