01 1.3 New tyres - andyj941
Hi I've decided to get 4 new continental eco contact 3 tyres fitted as the ones I currently have on are worn. Is £180 for fitting balancing etc including VAT a good price for these? I'm impressed with the reviews of these tyres. Getting a family friend to do the alignment at a later date. Thanks

What size are the tyres?

P.S It would be better to get the alignment done first.

Yes, I think £180 is a good price for tha Conti's.
I have got the eco 3's on my Golf, they seem to be very good.

andy, I have just checked on which for you (for what it is worth) and they rate the tyre as a best buy - it is good/excellent in most area's of testing - the eco bit is a misnomer apparently as they recorded highest mpg for a tyre but running a fiesta - it ain't going to make that much difference - and they quote a guide price of £50 each - black circles for my area fitted are £47 each so I think you are getting a good deal.
