Overpriced for the replacement RFT Dunlop, online you can get them for £75 less than that quote. My BMW dealer gave me a quote of £250 (including VAT & fitting) when mine had problems, bargaining I got 5% of that as well. For multiple reasons though eventually this was replaced free of charge.
Thanks for the reply Ninja. So I am looking to gradually replace my RFT with the MPSS air tyre. Would it be safe enough to replace both the knackered tyres i.e. will be running 1 air and 1 RFT on each axle? If not, perhaps I should just stick to the RFT as the other 2 tyres have pretty decent thread on them. Shame these 2 tyres are needing replaced too as they are pretty new. I am looking to get my tyres from tyreleader. Are they OK ?
