Not much of a car guy, but these look like some pretty good prices.

Do try to look for the same tyres you wanting to buy somewhere else to see if any cheaper, even if it is a $1 cheaper, Hyper Drive beats it by $20 a tyre, usually the Imperial tyres are cheaper else where.
Not a car guy either. If my tyre says 205/55R16 91V does it need to be 91V?
When putting in the size on the website it doesnt ask for it.
V tyres have a top speed of approximately 240 km/h) and H tyres, approximately 210 km/h. When changing just one tyre you should always check that the speed rating of the new tyre is the same as or higher than that of the original tyres.
Thanks for this so if changing both it should be all good?
The Good Year Assured comfort (70% off) and Pirelli Cinturato Rosso (bogof) seem to have the best discount.
Prob looking for something that gives good fuel efficiency which seems to be the Pirelli bu I have zero clue!

You don't want to go less on the load rating - The numbers… (from what was originally on your car, which might not be what is on it now).
For the letter, it is less important in a NZ environment. We don't have any unlimited speed roads, so assuming you are not tracking your car, a H (around 210km/h) rated tire is well in excess of the speeds you will go on NZ roads. Little need for a 240km/h rated tire…
You need to make sure the left and the right to have the same speed rating in order to pass the WOF. (Front and rear can have different speed ratings)
Bugger, I need four new tires as well but none of the ones with big % off come in my 215/50 R17
thats why there is a big percentage off, the sale started in nov at 70%, they had roughly 3500 tires.
Also not a car guy. However, $30 fitting charge per tyre seems a bit OTT?
Pretty much inclined to fit them myself - take out the old tyres, put the new ones in, dispose old tyres at refuse centre. Am I missing something here?
You could although I don't think it's as easy as you think. Especially balancing them if you lack any sort of equipment.
Although even deflating and removing the tyres and then fitting the new ones and inflating them doesn't seem that easy to me especially if you're trying to a hand or foot pump. Have you ever done it with car tyres? I've done it with bicycle tyres myself before I think but never car tyres. I suspect you'll find it isn't actually that easy to get them on properly.
P.S. I assume you know what fitting is? I myself got confused the first time I did it and was thinking they just meant unscrewing the nuts, taking off the wheels and putting the new ones on. Took me a while to realised these were just tyres not whole wheels. They don't come with rims, your existing ones would be re-used. Fitting meant they were putting the tyres on the rims. (Well which also required removing the wheels first but that's the easy part.)

Have you removed / fitted a tyre before? It's not all that easy.

Fitting involves taking the tyre off the rim and refitting the new tyre and balancing the wheel.
unless you have the 2 machines availabe to you, wont be able to DIY.For $34 per/tyre you can also get them fitted all around Auckland with our mobile tyre fitting service, if thats something that interests you
Can I be really cheeky and ask are there any 205/55R16 tyres you would recommend for a Nissan Neaf EV.
Price range between 100 and 200. Keeping and/ or extending range would be the biggest requirement.
Lol. Good luck with even breaking the old bead, let alone actually getting the old one off.
Then expect a woobly ride without balancing them.
Though $30 a tyre is a bit over the top if you are getting 2+ done. It's not a $120 job to do all four.
Takes 5 minutes to remove, replace and balance a tyre when you have the right gear.
Hell of a hourly rate @ $30 a tyre.
Does anyone buy tyres when they are on sale then just store them in their garage until they are ready to be replaced? Or best to just buy at the time?
Good find, thanks. Sizes look pretty limited. Great if they have your size on special.
