PS. I think those prices are per tyre and they are not that outrageous.

Does that 1" difference make a big difference in the prices of the same tire?

Correction. 20" pirelli tire set should be around $18k. But in any case the prices he quoted are not quite honest if they are per tire.

[RC3]

I think the 20" is around 50-60% more expansive than the 19"

[juztinl]

well they have his rims. not much barginning power now.

[chiver]

RC3 in your quotes of 10-12k what kind of tires were offered? Thx

You sure? I have quoted in Tai Hang and Tin Hau and prices are similar

If so, mind letting us know where you are quoting that is cheaper?

3450(rears) 2900(fronts)
4000(rears) 3700(fronts)
Are you talking about in pair? i.e. 3450 for 2 rear tires?
If so, this is a very good deal. I remembered mlai and kfiend got their 20" set for almost $15k

Mine's around 18K in tyres..... I went to Tai Hang and was quoted 17.2K not including mount and balance.....

$18k for pirelli pzero the hero is what I have from your previous thread. mlai
quoted $2.6k per tire for 19" advan sport at advxn shxp, tin hau
quoted $3.0k per tire for 19" pirelli pzero the hero or michellin ps at shxng txk, tai hang, shop closed now but they have other branches elsewhere.

[RC3]

mlai, the range of 10k-12k is for 19" and definitely not 20"

[chiver]

I have a staggered set up. Do you remember the size of the tyres for your quotes for the Advansport?

For advan sport, I was quoted for staggered set up too. It was for rims of 8.5J and 9.5J

I see. Feel free to yell at them!

[chiver]

Thanks for the info. I havnt paid for the tyres yet so maybe I can try to get a discount. Problem is they have my rims!

But will you consider the OEM M Sport front lips? Just to add so diversity here

Still thinking. Don't like the M front that much from the pictures.
Have to see it in person to tell. I heard that BMWHK should have the kit in soon, so I will decide till then.

They also had mlai pirellis in 19" 4000(rears) 37(fronts)
also had the bridgestone RE050 which are similar to the Yokohamas in price.

juztinl there are a set of 312 rims there in silver. Are they yours?

Just checked on tyrepac site and here are their quotes:

Advan Sport (V103) 245/40R19: HKD3,161/pc
Advan Sport (V103) 275/35R19: HKD3,862/pc

I think the tyre shop's prices are inline with market.......
PS. I think they quoted you the V103 instead of AD08. For such a heavy car, you probably will run thru AD08 in 6-9months......

Wow, this is very different from the shop's quote. Either the price has gone up since July or the guy has tricked me so I will get the wheels from him. But back then I asked two shops and they both gave me the quote that I indicated. Strange.

You sure you didn't ask a quote for AD08 instead of chiver's Advan Sport?

Thanks mlai for checking. Feeling a bit better. Nonetheless I'll see if I can try for a bit of discount by yelling at them!

In the mood for nosy So I called up the Tin Hau A**** shop for a quote:
Advan Sport 245/40R19 - HKD2800
Advan Sport 275/35R19 - HKD3320

Hope this helps in your bargaining process

[chiver]

Either beer or sake, please

Oops. On second thought, non-alcoholic and mocktails please. Otherwise, we will have to leave all our F10 at the site
