Hi all,

Big lurker here.

I'm having trouble getting hold of any tyres in the Hampshire area (front & rears - Rex)

Does anyone have any idea where to get some, rang round the locals and they have all given a 2-3 month lead time because bridgestone don't know when they are making more.

Thanks

Tirerack.com has stock and has rims, last time I looked you could get a set mounted and delivered for about 1700.00
 
Here you go, quite cheap now too

Same story here - local BMW dealer in Hungerford, not an 'i' specialist, got one next day (just got car back today this is the second flat replaced in same way). Not sure on cost as it's a lease car so tyres are included in maintenance contract - Kwik fit etc were no use!

BMW assist and lease means call to BMW and they picked up car on trailer and dropped at dealer, enterprise then drop a rental car off for 48 hours for free! First one was a Nissan Qashqai. Hire I just returned was a 320d estate. Drove to dealer, picked up my car and left hire car at dealer for Enterprise to collect.
 
I just checked Halfords Autocentres online and they charge £222 fitted for a pair of 19", which is probably the lowest I've ever seen.
