£200 for a tyre!
And it won't be here until Tuesday.
The man said it 'should' be OK to drive the car around in the meantime but to 'keep an eye on the tyre'. It's got me into work alright at least. Limiting my speed to 55-60mph.
Can be got a bit cheaper online but for the convenience of having it fitted by the shop at the end of the lane I'll just pay the £200.
Amusingly as well as all the usual tyre gubbins, you know like 275/35 R18 these tyres also have an 'MO' on them, which is some sort of Mercedes profile. Opinion is divided on how desirable they are, but it makes sense to match the new tyre with the one on the other side I suppose.
