What are your thoughts on part worn tyres? They are more regulated than they used to be and fitter can only sell tyres that meet strict quality controls.
I've noticed that a lot of the pricing doesn't quite add up.
New tyre with 7mm tread depth £235
Part worn Tyre with 3mm tread depth £130
A tyre is illegal at 1.6 mm so the new tyres is worth £43.00 per mm of tread depth. If you replace it at 2.0 or 3.00 then this amount will vary.
The true value of the part worn tyre is nearer £60.20 assuming it's only got 1.4 mm of legal tread left on it. So if you buy new tyres, use then for half of their life and then sell them on you can save yourself a fortune.
