All tyres have increased in price over the last few months, bit of a bugger but somewhat inevitable.

FridgeFreezer Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 It's as if someone keeps using all the oil, the b*st*rds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exmoor Beast Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Lucy bought two part worns for the freelander on friday (225/75x17s), they are pirelli snowsports with about 7mm of tread for £50 fitted and ballanced. I didn't think that was too scary at all Everything is going up in cost at a hell of a lick. Our fruit for the cakes has gone up 37% this month and the cherrys we use have gone up over 45%.

JimAttrill Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Refined automotive oil doesn't seem to have risen much, but antifreeze has doubled recently. Is ethylene glycol made from oil? And it doesn't seem to matter what make or supplier I try, they all charge a fortune for the stuff suddenly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 Yep, we have had the same problem with dealing direct with Castrol - in fact the antifreeze has gone up a lot more than oil! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrFrog Posted August 31, 2008 Share Posted August 31, 2008 I guess anything that needs transporting eventually will go up in price, regardless of what it's made of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 I guess anything that needs transporting eventually will go up in price, regardless of what it's made of. Aw, com on guys!!! You know the government won't let that happen!! They're just after the motorists that have to drive to work to pay for things that have to be transported!!!!!!! And...while we are paying for the things to be transported, the government are subsidising b#ms that can't be bothered to work with our taxes, rather than improving the roads and general public transport systems!!! Grrrrrrrrr!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
