About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Was looking for cheap branded tyres for end of lease car. Was even considering part worn but at this price is a no brainer.
Stumbled across these on Costco website.
Cheaper price for 19" 245/35/19 at £49.99
18" here 245/40/18.
£8.40 per tyre fitting.
P.S. mine have shipped as I ordered a few days ago. Price is still same so unlikely to be misprice but maybe clearing out old stock?

sorted byThe reason for this is, being front wheel drive or real wheel drive, you can not(not easily) correct or account for a rear end slip, so they fit new to the rear to give you the best grip on the rear possible for safety and handling, it's a common practice in the tyres fitting business.
Even if you have 2mm on the front and the tyres slide, you can correct that with your steering, you can't do that on the back.
That is the reason.
It's the basics of car ownership. You drive and replace things that wear out. Whether lease or no lease.
Nothing pro or against lease about this.
It's like using fuel in your car. Lease doesn't give you free fuel neither does buying outright.
As long as they replace the lowest tyres of course and not just the ones fitted to the rear of the fwd car.
Different for rwd cars.
Great deal and heated, I really want to try these, but my 235/40r18's aren't on offer or on the website. (edited)
Any recommendations of these over Michelin pilot sport 4 at £299?
Also I think the price of fitting and balancing and valve should be included in price and not an addon.
Costco put gas in their tyres rather than air, so you are supposed to get more mpg, though I am not sure how you are supposed to top them up?
Yes you have to maintain the car including wear & tear unless you get a car with maintenance. Just like owning a car or on PCP/HP, you have to pay for wear and tear items (tyres, wipers, screen wash etc).
I've ran original tyres 31k miles. They are under legal limit now and I've had my car 3.5yrs. So rather than Audi slap me with £150 per tyre bill I'd rather not chance it.
Costco do that because it is the CORRECT way to do it, regardless whether your car is FWD / RWD / 4WD. Maybe you should downgrade to the diesel, 300bhp is too much for you to handle.
Air is 70% nitrogen so this nitrogen in the tyre is literally marketing bs
Not a misprice as I've ordered them 3 days ago, will have them fitted this Friday. They have shipped so even if misprice Costco appear to be honouring it.
That's strange. Maybe still noone realized? I've changed 4 tyres two months ago for over 450 pound. Will put them in the loft
Only the 2 sizes I've listed are priced around £50. They only have 6 sizes in Supersport and they are all under £100!
Gas? As in Nitrogen? Air is also a gas btw. Nitrogen won't give you any more mpg. It's for it's larger molecules than air it self - so that the tyre pressure is maintained longer and so that it does not seep out as quickly as air would.
Not necessarily, some leases include tyres, service and insurance, so you should find out what is and isn't covered in the lease.
Strictly speaking air is not a gas but a mixture of several gasses.
Nitrogen 78%, Oxygen 20% and a few others for the remaining 2%.
They would be challenged with mine then because my rear tyres are a different size to the fronts
Watch tiff needle explain this and you’ll understand why. It’s to do with braking and the rear being harder to control with over steer than the front with under steer. Nearly all garages do this now. I think kwik fit even have a big poster saying they will only fit new tyres to the rear.
Well air is not a solid or liquid at room temperature. Since the definition of gas is a substance that remains gasses form above it's boiling temperature, which air does, and then can be cooled and liquified into, well, a liquid in the mixed form, then technically air is a gas. Collections of gases is still a gas, guess you could call it gases instead.
And technically the most accepted breakdown of air composition is 78% Nitrogen, 21% Oxygen.
This are better than 4S ,way better than 4's.
My car should have 205/45/17 and they are very rarely on offer. Looking at Pilot Sport 4 for example, 205/45/17 are around £112ea, and 215/45/17 are around £94ea so just over £70 saving for 4 tyres.
My speedo usually reads 2-3mph under anyway (indicated 70mph is 67mph-ish on GPS), and if I read it correctly, the larger 215/45/17 will actually make my speedo more accurate, as well as having a larger sidewall for extra comfort. (edited)
“They” don’t factor it in because it makes absolutely no difference. It doesn’t matter if you bought/leased/found/inherited/made a car, you still have to buy tyres for it.
Jeez. Should “they” also factor in buying clothes as well, because you can’t drive a lease car naked either.

Thank you.. The amount of times I have to explain this to customers on a daily basis
If there's different sizes front and rear they will just fit the fronts and won't rotate.
It’s not being defensive. I’m pointing out that your comment was plain idiotic. Which is offensive.
You don’t.
You have to maintain any car you are responsible for to legal standards. Which includes replacing tyres when required.
Honestly, this is a very simple concept, why are you struggling so much with it? (edited)
If my brake lines are within 5mm of my tyre, it's probably already an accident waiting to happen anyway. Realistically 10mm across the whole tyre width will be absolutely fine.
Yes, but the drop from a 45 profile to a 35 profile on 19" wheels will probably result in a car you hate driving do to the extra harshness, and risk damaging your wheels when you hit a pothole.
Good question. I will post the answer when I go for my tyres fitting, hopefully tomorrow.
Possibly try Vodafone, Three or O2 then.
Not true, nitrogen is used to give a more uniform pressure change with temperature. It’s used in aviation and high end motor sports for this reason.
I have the same, £210 each for our size!
You’d likely invalidate your insurance (if discovered in an accident) possibly invalidate your 7 year warranty too as Kia are quite picky!
Overall the tyres circumference would be different by 6.9%, so your Speedo would be significantly affected too.
But the op said his tyres were 6mm, I can understand it if they were 3mm or less, but not 6mm.
I have resigned to the fact that these aren't for me, my wallet is very sad
