vern Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I'm looking for two rear Bridgestones for my 370 and trying to get the best price possible. On Black circles they have the 275/35 x 19 (96) W and also the same tyre in a (96) Y speed rating. I appreciate that the correct tyre is a W rating, but as the Y rated tyres are £26.00 cheaper for the pair and are also the same load but with a higher speed rating, does anyone know of any reason why these would not be suitable. I find the tyre dealers have a habit of steering you towards the tyre they have in stock at the time or the more expensive offering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Y will be fine. As you say, it's a higher speed rating anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philb1965 Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Put your details in tyrequote website, they contact all your local fitters and they email you prices fitted. I was quoted £208 for a rear fitted RE050ASZ which is what's fitted as standard. Worth a try might save a few quid. Much cheaper than tinternet sites which surprised me.
