Hi James, I am looking at replacing all 4 tyre on my car as they are approaching 3mm and with winter coming...i thought best time to change. How much did you pay for yours? Any good deal out there? Cheers |

I’ve just done the same through Kwikfit as you get 10% off at the moment. Tyres and fitting along with tracking came to £930 with a saving of £280. |

Also exactly the same as me - Kwik-fit on the drive, great service. Tyres were £240 each, mobile fitting £15. Balancing £9, valves £6.50, tyre disposal £3

I had PCNS Zero on my L322 and hands down probably the best thing I did to it. Road surface dependant, you could be doing high motorway speeds and have almost zero tyre noise in the cabin, really enhanced refinement.

As popular as it is to bash dealers, we (and this applies to the whole of the group I work for) don't fit any tyres of a brand that are not fitted by the vehicle manufacturer. Most likely they were fitted by the previous owner, we get a lot of trade-ins with Chinese ditch-finders fitted - and I've seen Davanti tyres do that on a much lighter car too.

Is there a slight downside with PNCS inasmuch as a puncture cannot be repaired? It has happened to me, twice. |

The brand I work for doesn't use a lot of PNCS, our tyre monkey does repair them, essentialy, the foam has to be cut out of the affected area enough to allow cleaning & abrading for the plug to fit. I wouldn't have though it'll increase tyre noise appreciably. |

It's a good job there's only one dealer group in the UK then, so I can retract my libellous statement aboht dealers. Oh, wait... 2012 (L322) 4.4TDV8 Vogue SE, RSE, Fuji White over Arabica. Previous V8s: BMW 645Ci, P38 4.6, P38 4.0, Merc CL500 Previous others: Honda x1, Volvo x7, Rover x6, BMW x6, Ford x1, Mercedes x2, Skoda x3, VW x2, Renault x2, Citroen x1, Mazda x3, Nissan x1, Audi x3, Kia x1, Fiat x4, Subaru x3, Austin x2, Triumph x2, Jeep x2, Hyundai x2, Lexus x1, Mitsubishi x1, Saab x2... and some others I've forgotten! |

No reason a PNCS tyre cannot be repaired, manufacturers give specific guidance on how to do so. Tyre retailers who say they can't be repaired either haven't bothered to read the guidance or don't want to perform the repair... Or the puncture couldn't be repaired for other reasons. 2012 (L322) 4.4TDV8 Vogue SE, RSE, Fuji White over Arabica.
