I have an astra estate, new tyre needed, just come back from quick fit (yes, I know, but only place open today) guess how much for a continental tyre fitted balanced etc?
Nearest gets a pat on the back.

Continental about 40 quid.
Incidentally one of the best all weather tyres around, and half the price of most others

As said its a continental, but do bear in mind its for an astra estate, which (I have heard this before) has an unusual size of tyre.

Knowing slow fit probably £150.00
I won't use them after I was quoted £600 for work and when told them to stuff it they knocked £100 off the bill I still took the car somewhere else and paid less

£79 on their website.
Assuming it's an Astra model with 16" wheels rather than 17" or 18" with low profile tyres.
And even the 17" 225/45's are only £105 fully fitted.

I hereby claim one pat on the back: no rush though.
I just had four new run-flats on my BMW which were only £78 each - Bridgestones, same as the oem, not the often offered Continentals which are reputed to wear quite quickly.
