Fitted or supply only?

Try the likes of MyTyres, Camskill, Love Tyres, Tyre Leader, Black Circles and Asda Tyres.

You can't actually get the OEM RE040 anymore. Try the RE050a which is what replaced them mate.

Last week I paid £350 for 4 205/45/17 RE050a's (XL) 88W fitted at A2 tyres in Sittingbourne, Kent.

They replaced my worn out RE040's and the week before that I also had the 120k service done at CPL.

With the major service and 4 new tyres, it feels like a brand new car again, an unbelievable change.

Just as I had started to look for an Evo X FQ-330 to replace it, I've fallen in love with the EP3 all over again :oops:

The RE040's are a great tyre. Only issue is that if your car came with them second hand they'll be past their best.

I thought mine had probably been on from new. My car had 15,000 miles on it when I bought it last year. They where so dry plenty of tread. Went to the 50a which were meditated manufactured 2 months before i bought them. So the difference was 10 fold

Long time ago I had and Ep3 for 220k kilometers in[…]
